Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis

Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted infections. This bacterium often leads to asymptomatic infections in the genitourinary tract. Consequently, the late diagnosis of such infections results in delayed treatment, which can lead to serious and sometimes permanent health complications. These complications include pelvic inflammatory disease, and infertility. 

Mumps is an acute viral illness caused by the mumps virus, a member of the Paramyxoviridae family with a single-stranded RNA genomes. It is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets and is characterized by painful swelling of the salivary glands, particularly the parotid glands. In some cases, mumps can lead to serious complications such as orchitis, meningitis, encephalitis, and hearing loss. Accurate and timely diagnosis is essential for effective disease management and outbreak control.

The Chlamydia RQ kit offers a ready-to-use Real-Time PCR assay for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis.

Description

Advantages of Chlamydia RQ Kit

Ready to Use

The Chlamydia Mix contains all necessary reagents for Real-Time PCR and is ready to use; no further reagent or mixing is required. Reactions are prepared simply by addition of the mix directly to the tubes followed by the sample DNA. Results are viewed in Green/FAM and Yellow/VIC channels.

Internal Control

This Kit also incorporates an Internal Control (IC) to identify possible extraction failure or PCR inhibition and preventing false negative results.

Quality Control

The Control and Mix components of the Chlamydia RQ Kit are manufactured in batches, with each batch being distributed only after successfully passing Quality Control tests for specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, and precision. 

Easy & Quick Setup

Kit contains a template file for quick and easy setup of the Real-Time PCR instrument, also reducing setup errors.
