Comprehensive STD qPCR Panel

Comprehensive STD qPCR Panel 

 
Advanced Molecular Diagnostics for Sexually Transmitted Infections 
STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection), also referred to as STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) 
 
The Comprehensive Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) qPCR Panel offers a rapid, highly sensitive, and accurate molecular solution for detecting 18 prevalent STI pathogens and 43 major antibiotic resistance (ABR) genes. 
 

Key Statistics (CDC, 2018): 

- 1 in 5 individuals in the U.S. were living with an STI on any given day 

- 26 million new STI cases were reported 

- Nearly 50% of new cases involved people aged 15–24 

- STI-related healthcare costs reached approximately $16 billion 

Clinical Advantages 

• High Sensitivity & Specificity for accurate detection of major STI pathogens 

• Detects Antibiotic Resistance markers such as methicillin, vancomycin, and MDR genes 

• Rapid Turnaround Time: Results typically within 5–24 hours 

• Actionable Reports: Clear summaries with antimicrobial guidance 

• Molecular Superiority: PCR testing exceeds traditional methods like cultures 

• Enables Early Diagnosis: Facilitates timely treatment and reduces spread 

Public Health Impact 

 
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) highlights the importance of early STI detection. While not all STIs are curable, timely diagnosis helps control symptoms, minimize complications, and prevent transmission.
