Background
Sexually transmitted infections represent a growing public health challenge due to their high incidence, frequent asymptomatic presentation, possible co-infections, and increasing antimicrobial resistance. Many patients may present with non-specific symptoms or no symptoms at all, making clinical assessment alone insufficient and potentially delaying appropriate treatment.
A syndromic molecular approach enables the simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens associated with the same clinical condition, supporting differential diagnosis and faster decision-making. In STI workflows, same-day results can help reduce repeat visits, minimize loss to follow-up, and support more targeted treatment.
Product information
VIRPLEX MiniLab is a sample-to-result molecular solution based on real-time PCR, designed to simplify syndromic STI testing. Its closed-loop workflow, minimal manipulation, and full traceability help reduce contamination risk and streamline laboratory operations.
The STD VIRPLEX MiniLab Panel detects relevant STI pathogens:
- Chlamydia trachomatis
- C. trachomatis serovar L/LGV
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- Trichomonas vaginalis
- Mycoplasma genitalium and macrolide resistance-associated mutations (A2058 and A2059)
- Ureaplasma urealyticum
- Ureaplasma parvum
- Mycoplasma hominis
- Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2
- Haemophilus ducreyi
- Treponema pallidum
- mpox virus.
The panel also includes a sample extraction control and internal controls.
The solution is validated for different specimen types, including vaginal/endocervical, urethral, rectal, pharyngeal swabs, urine, and ulcer samples.
