Antimicrobial resistance has become one of the greatest challenges for public health worldwide. Resistant bacteria reduce the effectiveness of available antibiotics and complicate the treatment of severe infections, which increases mortality, clinical complications, and the length of hospital stays.
In response to this growing challenge, and as specialists in in vitro diagnostics, at Certest we have developed an innovative and effective solution that enables the rapid and reliable detection of these bacterial resistances: our Certest Resist CARBAS test, which is also CE‑IVDR certified.
Certest Resist CARBAS is an immunochromatographic test capable of detecting, on a single strip and in just 15 minutes, five of the main enzymes responsible for carbapenem resistance: KPC, NDM, VIM, OXA‑48, and IMP.
A product that incorporates distinctive competitive advantages:
- High signal intensity across all five detection lines.
- Membrane with no background, enabling clearer reading of results.
- Enlarged viewing window.
- Differential green‑colored control line.
- Compatible with bacterial isolates from any biological sample.
Fabricated in Europe and proven to perform under real laboratory conditions, Certest Resist CARBAS represents a reliable and rapid solution to support clinical decision‑making, contribute to more effective patient treatment, and, ultimately, contribute positively to global health.
