Multiplex Bacterial Vaginosis detection kit

Multiplex Bacterial Vaginosis detection kit    

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a polymicrobial clinical syndrome resulting from replacement of the normal hydrogen peroxide producing Lactobacillus sp. in the vagina with high concentrations of anaerobic bacteria and numerous fastidious or uncultivated anaerobes. It is the most common cause of vaginal symptoms among women. The prevalence of BV in the United States is estimated to be 21.2 million (29.2%) among women ages 14–49. Due to its similar symptoms with other vaginal infections but requirement of different types of medicines, it is critical to have accurate diagnostics.

Atila BV detection kit qualitatively detects DNA targets from bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis in vaginal/cervical swab samples, including Gardnerella vaginalis (GV), Atopobium vaginae (AV), Bacterial Vaginosis Associated Bacteria-2 (BVAB-2), Megasphaera-1 and Megasphaera-2 (Mega1 and Mega2). Compared to traditional gram staining method, our assay shows ≥ 90% sensitivity and specificity, with a significantly faster turnaround time (sample to result takes less than 90 minutes).

Features

• Fast turnaround time: Sample to result takes less than 90 minutes.
• Simplest protocol: Minimum hands on time (less than 15 minutes per assay).  No array, no washing, no DNA extraction are needed.
• Great Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity: Compared to Gram staining, this molecular assay has90% sensitivity and specificity
• Low Cost: Price per assay is much better than any other BV detection kits on the market.
• Flexibility: the kits can be used for detection of any number of samples without wasting extra reagents
