Comprehensive STD and UTI Combo qPCR Panels

Comprehensive STD and UTI Combo qPCR Panels

  Advanced Molecular Testing for Overlapping Urogenital Infections

The Comprehensive STD and UTI Combo qPCR Panels integrate two powerful diagnostic panels—STD and UTI qPCR—into a single, streamlined solution. This combined panel is designed to detect a broad spectrum of pathogens responsible for both sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Given the significant overlap in symptoms between these two types of infections, this combo panel enables faster, more accurate diagnosis with a single sample collection.

Why Combine STD and UTI Panels?

Sexually transmitted infections and urinary tract infections often present with similar clinical symptoms, such as:

· Burning sensation during urination

· Increased urinary frequency or urgency

· Pelvic or abdominal discomfort

· Abnormal discharge

Because of this overlap, clinical diagnosis without lab confirmation can lead to misdiagnosis or delayed treatment. A comprehensive combo panel ensures no pathogen is overlooked—improving patient care and reducing the risk of complications.

Key Benefits

· One-sample, dual-detection approach for streamlined workflow

· Rapid results within 24 hours of sample receipt

· High sensitivity and specificity using real-time qPCR

· Supports antimicrobial stewardship with resistance gene detection

· Improves clinical accuracy in differentiating between STD and UTI causes

This integrated panel is ideal for urgent care, primary care, gynecology, and urology settings where quick, actionable diagnostic information is essential.
