  • The INFINITI UroGen QUAD Assay is automated by the INFINITI Analyzer.

Analytes Detected: 

  • Ureaplasma urealyticum 
  • Mycoplasma genitalium 
  • Mycoplasma hominis 

Features:

  • Replicate determinations on a single BioFilmChip Microarray ensures quality results.

Sample Type and Volume: 

  • Uses endocervical and cervical specimens.
  • Requires 50 ng DNA / reaction

Clinical Relevance: 

  •  Half of all non-gonococcal venereal diseases are caused by Ureaplasma and Mycoplasma.
  • Ureaplasmas and Mycoplasmas are found in 70% of sexually active humans!
  • These microorganisms cause 50% of all Non-Gonococcal Urethritis (NGU)
  • They are often not detected in plate Culture & difficult to identify under microscope.
  • They take a long time to grow & require complex media for isolation.
  • These pathogens also exhibit differential antimicrobial susceptibility

Clinical Utility:
