User Libraries

Users have the ability to easily create their own libraries, using parameters of their choice.
Institution specific libraries can be created:

Which are organism or location specific
To conduct long term studies
To track seasonal outbreaks from year to year

 

Pre-existing DiversiLab Libraries

The DiversiLab Software comes with pre-validated libraries, which allow you to rapidly discriminate between closely related bacterial or fungal species and strains. These libraries are provided free of charge and are updated periodically.

• MRSA
  Help determine if your MRSA is hospital acquired vs. community acquired by comparing your MRSA rep-PCR fingerprint to characterize against known MRSA USA PFGE-types.
  
  
• Mycobacterium
  Use the Mycobacterium library to distinguish among traditionally hard-to-characterize species such as: M. chelonae from M. abscessus, M. avium from M. intercellulare, M.tuberculosis from M. bovis, and others.
  
  
• Mold
  Use the mold library to distinguish dimorphic fungi, Dermatophytes, Zygomycetes, Aspergillus and Fusarium.
  
  
• Clostridium
  Compare your Clostridium difficile isolates to virulent epidemic strains such as PFGE-type NAP-1.
  
  
• Candida
  Use the Candida library to differentiate between different strains of Candida.
  
  
• E. coli
  The E. coli Library contains the Escherichia coli Reference Collection (ECOR) plus other organisms with pathogenicity or serotype information such as EHEC(O157:H7).
