Intended Use:
The Zepto FungiFlex® Mold Panel, a qualitative, multiplexed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and giant magnetoresistance (GMR) system for the detection of fungal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) presence in human plasma specimens from patients with symptoms of, or medical conditions predisposing the patient to, the potential of invasive fungal infections (IFIs).
Workflow:
Plasma Preparation and Specimen Requirements
- Collect 5 mL of whole blood in a K₂EDTA (lavender top) tube. Gently invert 8-10 times immediately after collection.
- Centrifuge within 6 hours of blood draw at 1,600 RCF (g) for 10 minutes at ambient temperature.
- Carefully separate plasma and transfer a minimum of 2 mL into a sterile polypropylene, leak-proof tube, avoiding disturbance of the buffy coat.
Storage and Shipping
- Store plasma at ambient temperature (4°C – 25°C) for short-term holding.
- Specimens must arrive at Zepto Life within 96 hours of blood draw when shipped at ambient temperature.
- If shipment will be delayed beyond 96 hours, freeze plasma at ≤ -20°C and ship on dry ice.
- Frozen specimens may be stored at ≤ -20°C for up to 6 months prior to shipment.
Turnaround time
Turnoud time is less than 24 hours from sample receipt.
Clinical Utility:
Invasive fungal infections can present as a range of syndromes, including invasive rhinosinusitis, pneumonia, central nervous system disease, and skin or soft tissue involvement. As the number of patients undergoing transplantation and receiving immunosuppressive therapy continues to grow, so does the at-risk population and the incidence of IFIs. Aspergillus species and mucorales are among the most frequent causes of these infections and are usually diagnosed by sampling deep tissues such as lung, often through biopsy, or by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) as a less invasive surrogate. Both approaches carry procedural risk and may be nondiagnostic when paired with conventional assays. A plasma-based mold cfDNA assay enables a rapid, noninvasive approach to support the diagnosis of IFI.Test Menu
