eSens products are produced by Ecoli Dx in Buštěhrad/Prague in the Czech Republic and can be easily reffered to as the truly European AmpliSens®. eSens PCR kits are also designed for the detection of various infectious agens (A to Z of all infectious diseases) and genetic markers, covering areas such as: Sexually transmitted infections, Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, Herpes virus infections or respiratory infections. Many of these kits are also designed for multiplex Real-Time PCR, allowing for the simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens in a single reaction, thereby increasing diagnostic speed and reducing costs.
The story of eSens began due to the expiration of the CE IVD certification of AmpliSens® PCR kits, thus we decided to start our own production in the Czech Republic. This allowed us to offer alternative CE IVD-D marked PCR kits under our own brand eSens, covering most of the AmpliSens® product range. The portfolio of eSens includes 80+ different types of PCR kits, all of which contain the original AmpliSens® chemistry. In other words, eSens PCR kits are produced using the exact same polymerases, primers, probes, and solutions as the equivalent AmpliSens® counterparts. Only the packaging, labeling and certification are new for eSens compared to AmpliSens®. As a result, the composition of the kits and protocols (including thermal cycling programs) remain unchanged. This has made the transition from AmpliSens® to eSens seamless for many laboratories, enabling them to maintain their workflows unchanged while retaining CE IVD compliance.
Additionally, eSens brand contains also a few kits which are composed from other than AmpliSens® components. These kits are marked NA (for Non AmpliSens®). Currently, the majority of eSens and eSens NA PCR kits is CE IVD-D marked, except those classified in group D according to IVDR criteria, which are supplied as RUO now.
