STI
Our Infectious Disease Panels provide rapid and reliable diagnostic insights using advanced molecular testing to precisely identify pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant strains. This ensures timely treatment, improving patient outcomes and preventing the spread of resistant infections. Our tests offer healthcare providers the data needed for informed decisions to enhance patient care and public health.
Firmalab is committed to delivering your test results quickly. Our local advantage ensures you are able to get results within 48-72 hours.Our STI panel is comprehensive, encompassing a variety of assays on the Hologic TMA platform, including tests for Herpes Simplex Viruses (HSV 1 & 2), Candida Vaginitis, Trichomonas Vaginalis, Bacterial Vaginosis, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Mycoplasma genitalium. The results for bacterial vaginosis are determined by analyzing the ratio between normal flora and pathogenic species, while our HPV genotyping assays differentiate between high-risk HPV types. These precise and advanced testing options enable healthcare providers to offer targeted treatment and better manage patient care.
Our Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) testing is designed for both men and women, focusing on the critical need for timely screening and treatment. STIs are a major public health issue globally, often asymptomatic and leading to serious complications and transmission if left untreated. We utilize advanced testing methods to accurately identify these infections, providing crucial testing support.
Collection methods
To enhance convenience for patients, our tests have been validated from various sample types, including:
We employ cutting-edge technology, including Transcription-Mediated Amplification (TMA) assays and Real-Time PCR, to detect and quantify a wide range of bacteria, yeast, and parasites that may cause vaginitis and other infections. These molecular diagnostic tests are far more sensitive than conventional culture methods, making them highly desirable for accurate pathogen detection.
Our testing is comprehensive, identifying bacteria, yeast, and parasites, including those that are difficult to culture with a rapid identification process, delivering results within 24 hours. With the ability to detect polymicrobial infections and achieve over 95% analytical sensitivity, our services ensure that infections are treated promptly, often before complications arise. We also provide improved sensitivity for diagnosing various microorganisms, including fungal pathogens, and can estimate the quantity of normal vaginal flora in comparison to pathogenic species.
