The eazyplex® CSF direct test is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic assay designed to detect infectious agents, including bacteria and viruses, in cerebrospinal fluid. These pathogens can cause inflammation of the central nervous system (CNS). The eazyplex® CSF direct test provides results within just 30 minutes, offering the rapid guidance needed in suspected cases of meningitis.

Fast meningitis diagnosis

The eazyplex® CSF direct test system uses advanced molecular LAMP technology to detect infectious agents, including bacteria and viruses, in cerebrospinal fluid. This rapid test can identify pathogens causing CNS inflammation in under 30 minutes, providing crucial diagnostic information quickly.

Key Characteristics of eazyplex® tests

• TATs under 30 minutes​
  
• Accuracy - published evaluations
  
• Ease of use, No DNA extraction 
  
• Suitable for single or small numbers of tests
  
• Lyophilised product means ambient storage​
  
• IVD

 eazyplex® CSF direct system for direct detection,  covers the following infectious agents:

• HSV-1
• HSV-2
• VZV
• N. meningitidis
• S. pneumoniae
• S. agalactiae
• L. monocytogenes​

Separate kits are also available for the bacterial and viral pathogens causing meningitis. 

• eazyplex® CSF direct covers both the bacterial and viral parameters.

• eazyplex® CSF direct M covers the bacterial parameters plus H. influenzae. ​
• eazyplex® CSF direct V covers the viral targets: HSV-1, HSV-2 and VZV.​

The Genie Platforms for eazyplex®

​The Genie® family are modern, robust user-friendly diagnostic devices that combine isothermal amplification (LAMP) with real-time detection to run individual tests for use on-site or laboratory use.

​The Genie® devices are operated via a large TFT-LCD display with a resistive touch screen which can be operated with protective gloves.

• Data entry can be optimised with a barcode scanner.


• The signal acquisition is graphically displayed in real-time during a run and all data is stored in the large internal flash memory of the device.


• The closed system avoids any handling after amplification and thus eliminates contamination of the amplified products.​The Genie® HT is a modular upgrade of the Genie®II with the option of 12 independent heating blocks for high throughput settings. Genie® HT also supports HIS/LIS connection.

The Amplex Genie & eazyplex® open a door to a wide range of LAMP diagnostics, offering TATs under 30 minutes.

The manufacturer​
Amplex Diagnostics GmbH is a German-based company founded in 2002 that specialises in providing rapid and robust CE-IVD tests to aid the diagnosis of microbiological infections. One of their products  was the world's first MRSA multiplex PCR test to be CE IVD-certified for testing directly from sample material.
Amplex makes the latest advanced  technology available in a simple and user-friendly manner. Their eazyplex® system which can be operated intuitively, combines isothermal amplification (LAMP) with real-time detection.  The eazyplex® reagents are supported by the Genie platforms which enables isothermal amplification of all DNS and RNA targets in one compact device. It was specially developed for isothermal amplification assays with real-time detection based on fluorescence and enables reading of molecular diagnostics Real-time detection within a few minutes.
