Standard Multiplex RT-PCR Panels
Accutest® Standard Antibiotic Resistance RT-PCR Panels
Two predefined multiplex panels for molecular research involving
antimicrobial resistance genetic markers.
ABR Panel 1 includes 18 resistance markers and
ABR Panel 2 includes 20 resistance markers.
RNase P (RPP30) is included as the internal control.
ABR Panel 1
18 antimicrobial-resistance markers plus RNase P (RPP30).
ABR Panel 2
20 antimicrobial-resistance markers plus RNase P (RPP30).
Plate & Tube Formats
Clear or white pre-spotted plates plus 100-reaction tube formats.
Important research limitation:
Detection of a targeted resistance gene does not by itself establish gene expression,
phenotypic susceptibility or clinical treatment response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard Antibiotic Resistance RT-PCR Panel FAQ
What is the difference between ABR Panel 1 and ABR Panel 2?
ABR Panel 1 includes 18 antimicrobial-resistance markers, while ABR Panel 2 includes 20 markers. RNase P (RPP30) is included as the internal control in both panels.
Does detection of a resistance gene prove phenotypic resistance?
No. Detection of a targeted resistance gene does not by itself establish gene expression, phenotypic susceptibility or clinical treatment response.
Is MasterMix included?
Yes. MasterMix is included with the panel mixes.
Which formats are available?
Both ABR panels are available in clear and white 96-well and 384-well pre-spotted plate formats, as well as 100-reaction tube configurations.
What reaction volumes are used?
The standard configuration uses a 20 µL reaction volume for 96-well formats and a 10 µL reaction volume for 384-well formats.
How are the panels shipped and stored?
Panels are shipped on dry ice and should be stored at –15°C to –25°C.
Are these panels intended for diagnostic use?
No. These products are offered for Research Use Only and are not for use in diagnostic procedures.
