Molecular Diagnostic Solutions for Sexually Transmitted Infections
Prompt and early diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is important to enable appropriate treatment and help prevent further transmission. Clinical testing labs require STI testing solutions that help provide confidence, fast turnaround time, and accurate results. The TaqPath Menu STI portfolio supports sexual health testing with CE-marked sexually transmitted infection (STI) assays, designed to provide accurate, reliable results with excellent sensitivity and specificity across a wide variety of bacteria (such as Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) and mycoplasma genitalium), parasites (such as Trichomonas vaginalis), or viruses (such as human papillomavirus (HPV) or Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1/2)). This helps give confidence in screening, diagnostic, and treatment decisions, and helps stop the spread of disease.
Rely on a comprehensive portfolio of TaqPath Menu kits to meet your lab’s clinical testing needs
