90-minute detection and differentiation of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae

The Need

an ill woman listens to a physician
Trichomoniasis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea are the three most prevalent, treatable STDs in the U.S. If left untreated, complications can include infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy complications, and increased risk of HIV acquisition.1

CDC recommends:1
  • Annual CT/NG screening of all sexually active women under 25
  • Screening of other at-risk individuals including MSM*
  • Testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, & trichomoniasis using NAATs^ (PCR)
  • Timely testing and treatment
* STD – Sexually Transmitted Diseases
^ NAAT – Nucleic Acid Amplification Test
# PrEP – Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis

The Solution

a male and a female researchers scanning cepheid test cartridges
  • Accurate on-demand RT-PCR results are ready when you need them
  • On-demand and in-visit results reduce patient call-backs, overtreatment, undertreatment and patients lost to follow-up
  • Patient collected specimens can create operational efficiencies
  • Test supports multiple specimen types

The Impact
