La soluzione
Accurate on-demand PCR results are ready when you need them
- On‑demand results can support clinical workflows by providing results during the patient visit
- The test supports the use of patient‑collected vaginal swab specimens in clinical settings
- The assay supports multiple validated specimen types
L’impatto
Fornire risultati rapidi al paziente per:
- Enable test results during the patient visit
- Support efficient patient care workflows
- Support timely identification of infection to inform clinical management.
- Help inform appropriate clinical decision‑making regarding antibiotic use
