This simple and affordable rapid test uses a swab to detect gonorrhea infection. The test is an important part of antenatal care and reproductive health as this sexually transmitted infection is on the rise. The cassette test is made in North America and CE-marked to ensure high quality.
Gonorrhea is one of the four most common, and curable, sexually transmitted diseases globally. In pregnancy, it is linked with higher rates of miscarriage, amniotic sac infection, preterm birth, premature rupture of membranes, and severe eye infection passed to the baby during delivery, which can lead to blindness. Gonorrhea is safe to treat with antibiotics during pregnancy. Women presenting for antenatal care visits should be tested for the presence of gonorrhea. The CDC recommends annual testing for many at-risk populations, including sexually active women under 25, older women with risk factors such as new or multiple partners, and men who have sex with men.
The Neisseria Gonorrhea (NGH) Test Kit is a rapid and convenient antigen-capture immunochromatographic assay used for the qualitative detection of Neisseria Gonorrhea antigen in urethral/genital swab specimens. It is intended for professional use as an aid in the diagnosis of gonococcus infection.
To test, a swab specimen from the urethral/genital area of the patient is collected. The swab is then placed in a micro tube where two types of specimen extraction buffer are added. The swab is then rotated against the tube and discarded. The sample left in the micro tube is then vortexed and a couple drops added into the sample well of the testing device. The test works by detecting the Neisseria Gonorrhea antigen in the urethral/genital sample as it flows through the assay by first Neisseria Gonorrhea antibodies conjugated with colloidal gold that attach to Neisseria Gonorrhea antigens and provide a “visual tag” for the antigen-antibody-colloidal gold complex and second, by a test zone with immobilized antibodies that capture the complex, the visual tags producing a visible pink-colored band that is confirmation of the presence of Neisseria Gonorrhea and a positive result for gonorrhea. If there is no pink line, Neisseria Gonorrhea is not present, indicating a negative result for gonorrhea. Results are ready in 10 minutes.
