SPOT-it™ TREC Screening Kit

SPOT-it™ TREC Screening kit is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) kit intended for newborn screening for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). The kit quantifies T-cell receptor excision circle (TREC) DNA extracted from fresh, prospective dried blood spot (DBS) sampled on filter paper. The analysis is performed by semi-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).

The test is intended for use by laboratory professionals to aid in identifying newborns who potentially suffer from SCID caused by lack of mature T-cells.

TRECs are produced during the maturation of T-cells — vital components of the immune system. Lack of TRECs can indicate low or no production of T-cells. A newborn identified with low TRECs can potentially suffer from SCID and should be referred for confirmatory testing.

How it works

Sample distribution

Dried Blood Spot (DBS) samples
are punched into SPOT-it™ filter plate.

Rinse DBS

Samples are rinsed and rehydrated to
remove hemoglobin and other
impurities.

DNA Elution

DNA is eluted by heating to 95 °C for
30 minutes.

qPCR

TREC and ACTB copies are quantified
using qPCR
