New PCR diagnostic panels

Nowadays, the laboratory diagnostics of infectious diseases is moving towards using the methods, where different pathogens, which cause similar symptoms, are combined into one diagnostic panel. Using this approach gives us the possibility to analyse samples in shorter time and increases the amount of information received about the patient’s condition at the same time.

Starting from 1 October 2012 we will offer you the following diagnostic panels:

1. The panel of Sexually transmitted diseases (STI)

1. Chlamydia trachomatis
2. Chlamydia trachomatis LGV
3. Neisseria gonorrhoeae
4. Trichomonas vaginalis
5. Mycoplasma genitalium

Sample materials: first void urine, Cervical canal’s mucosa, epithelial scraping,  Urethras epithelial scraping, vaginal scraping.

2. Extended panel of Sexually transmitted diseases

1. Chlamydia trachomatis
2. Chlamydia trachomatis LGV
3. Neisseria gonorrhoeae
4. Trichomonas vaginalis
5. Mycoplasma genitalium
6. Mycoplasma hominis
7. Ureaplasma urealyticum
8. Urealpasma parvum

Sample materials: first void urine, Cervical canal’s mucosa, epithelial scraping,  Urethras epithelial scraping, vaginal scraping.

3. Sexually transmitted disease ulcer panel

1. Herpes simplex virus 1
2. Herpes simplex virus 2
3. Treponema pallidum
4. Haemophilus ducreyi
5. Chlamydia trachomatis LGV
