The AMPIPROBE^® NG/CT/TV Assay is a real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay for the qualitative detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Trichomonas vaginalis genomic DNA. The kit uses the AMPIPROBE^® assay platform which takes advantage of paired fluorophore- and quencher-labeled primers specific for each of the target species as well as an internal control. The kit contains all reagents necessary for PCR-based detection of N. gonorrhoeae, C. trachomatis, and T. vaginalis DNA. In addition, the assay kit includes a positive PCR control consisting of a mixture of the target templates and a negative PCR control that results negative for the targets, but positive for the internal control (human β-globin). Please read the complete kit insert before performing this assay.

Scientific Background:	Sexually transmitted infections caused by N. gonorrhoeae, C. trachomatis, and T. vaginalis DNA are among the most curable venereal diseases, but can all lead to serious conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) if left untreated.Over 100 million new cases of gonorrhoeae each year are caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a gram negative bacteria. Gonorrhoeae infections can lead to severe complications including epididymitis in men and PID in women. Consequently, PID can result in involuntary infertility and ectopic pregnancy. In addition, N. gonorrhoeae can infect the eyes of newborns during birth which can potentially lead to blindness. Chlamydia trachomatis is also a gram negative bacterial pathogen that is the cause of sexually transmitted chlamydial infections with over 100 million cases each year. Infection with C. trachomatis can lead to PID, which consequently PID can result in ectopic pregnancy, infertility and chronic pelvic pain. Trichomonas vaginalis is a parasite that infects over 270 million patients worldwide each year, making it the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD) agent in the world. Left untreated, a persistent T. vaginalis infection can lead to PID and adverse outcomes of pregnancy. The current assay provides rapid and accurate results on the qualitative detection of N.gonorrhoeae, C. trachomatis, and T. vaginalis DNA in a user-supplied sample of interest.
