Tired of fuzzy bands?

Try our Ridom StaphType software for fast and accurate typing of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates within 24 hours!

• DNA Sequence Editor
  • Reproducible, highly discriminatory and portable single locus sequence typing scheme based on Staphylococcus Protein A (spa) gene repeat sequences.
  • The highly customized Ridom StaphType software reads ABI- and SCF-chromatogram files and automatic detects spa-repeats and -types. In more than 90% of all cases no further manual sequence editing is required.
• Database
  • Personal data (encrypted) and relevant epidemiological information can be stored locally in the database system incorporated in the Ridom StaphType software.
  • Information from the database can easily be exported in comma-separated, spreadsheet format. The same format can also be imported.
  • The integrity of the database is checked regularly and the contents can be backed up to prevent data leakage.
• BURP
  • Clustering of related spa-types.
  • Repeat motif searches.
  • Alarm setting for spa-groups/-types and their relatives.
• Report Generator
  • Reports can be created with various configurations using Ridom StaphType.
  • These reports are stored internally as read-only, tamper-proof and encrypted PDF files.
  • MRSA-NIS Reports can be created for use in MRSA surveillance.
• Synchronization
  • To ensure usage of a uniform code terminology, Ridom StaphType synchronizes transparently either directly via the http-protocol or file based (e. g. via e-mail attachment) with an accompanying website that functions as an operative source for all new spa-types and repeats.
