Detection kit for Sexually Transmitted Diseases
The present technology provides a multiplex PCR based prototype kit for detection of the Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, based on designed primers. The kit contains all the reagents for collection of clinical samples, for carrying out amplification by PCR and the detection of the product, as well as the protocol to be used for diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in patient samples. The kit also provides a new transport medium that is not only suitable for collecting the sample but also storing the sample at 4°C for several days. An internal control has also been designed against human gene to test for any PCR inhibition in the sample.
Sector: Pharmaceuticals
Country: India
Area of Application: Medical industry.
Keywords: Sexually transmitted diseases, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis
Advantages: Diagnose samples infected with Chlamydia trachomatis with an internal control. Provides a new transport medium that is not only suitable for collecting the sample but also storing the sample at 4°C for several days. Diagnose samples infected with Chlamydia trachomatis without internal control. An internal control has also been designed against human gene to test for any PCR inhibition in the sample. Detects Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae simultaneously. Method is highly simple, cost-effective and one can visualize the amplicon on Agarose gel within 30 minutes-lhr (existing technologies takes 4-24 hours).
