Sexually Transmitted Infections | Qnostics Molecular Controls
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a major public health concern globally. STIs are the main preventable cause of infertility, particularly in women. However, some STIs remain asymptomatic before leading to serious reproductive complications and congenital infections, therefore appropriate diagnosis and treatment is essential.
Qnostics’ STI Molecular controls comprises a wide range of bacterial targets, including: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trichomonas vaginalis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Gardnerella vaginalis, Neisseria gonorrhoea, Chlamydia trachomatis (LGV), Chlamydia trachomatis (LGV) transport and Chlamydia trachomatis (SW).
Q Controls
Qnostics’ ‘Q’ Controls are positive run controls intended to help laboratories monitor their molecular diagnostic assay on a run-to-run basis within customer derived limits. These third-party independent external controls will ensure that assay drift is detected, monitored and managed allowing the laboratory to continue to provide accurate and reliable results. They also help support a laboratory’s regulatory requirements under the standard ISO 15189.
