Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The Gene Expert cartridge allows for which of the following?
A
All PCR reagents are contained within one cartridge
B
Mutiplex PCR for multiple targets
C
PCR amplification of RNA viruses
D
Nested PCR
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Principle of the Procedure The GeneXpert Instrument Systems automate and integrate sample preparation, nucleic acid extraction and amplification, and detection of the target sequences in simple or complex samples using real-time PCR assays.

Detailed explanation-2: -How it works————The Gene Xpert is a machine that can detect *mycobacterium tuberculosis* in a sample of sputum. A person suspected of having TB needs to give a sputum sample, which the health care worker than places in a small tube.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Genexpert diagnoses TB by detecting the presence of TB bacteria. The test is a molecular TB test which detects the DNA in TB bacteria. It uses a sputum sample and can give a result in less than 2 hours.

Detailed explanation-4: -Principle of the Procedure This assay can be performed on Cepheid GeneXpert® Instrument Systems. GeneXpert Instrument Systems automate and integrate sample purification, nucleic acid amplification, and detection of the target sequence using real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) and real-time PCR assays.
