Sepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency caused by the body’s response to infection. Early and accurate identification of pathogens is critical to saving lives. That’s why Rainsure Digital PCR has developed the world’s first digital PCR-based sepsis detection solution capable of processing whole blood samples, detecting 85% of common sepsis-causing pathogens, and providing 40-plex analysis in a single microfluidic cartridge.
This breakthrough enables ultra-rapid diagnosis, real-time treatment monitoring, and antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) detection—revolutionizing the way clinicians diagnose and manage sepsis.
Whole Blood Compatibility
Unlike traditional molecular tests that require blood culture, Rainsure’s platform directly processes whole blood, significantly reducing time to results.
40-Plex Detection in One Cartridge
The Rainsure cartridge allows simultaneous analysis of up to 40 targets, including bacteria, fungi, and ARGs—ideal for comprehensive infection profiling in a single test.
Covers 85% of Common Sepsis Pathogens
The panel includes a broad spectrum of gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria, and fungi, accounting for 85% of clinically relevant sepsis cases worldwide.
Early Detection to Prevent Sepsis Escalation
By bypassing the need for culturing, Rainsure’s system enables early identification of pathogens—helping physicians initiate targeted therapy within hours of symptom onset.
ARG Detection for Precision Treatment
Simultaneously detect antibiotic resistance genes to guide appropriate antimicrobial therapy, reduce trial-and-error, and support antibiotic stewardship.
Patient Monitoring and Outcome Improvement
Use Rainsure Digital PCR to track pathogen load over time, assess treatment response, and prevent complications through ongoing monitoring.
