Reported
2 Hours
Tests Included
Chlamydia trachomatis DNA
Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA.
Synonyms
Chlamydia and GC DNA
Cervical-Chlam&GC DNA
Vaginal-Chlam&GC DNA
Urethral-Chlam&GC DNA
Urine-Chlam&GC DNA
Throat Chlam&GC DNA
Rectal Chlam&GC DNA
Reference Interval
Negative
Interpretive Data
This assay is designed to detect the presence of nucleic acid of Chlamydia trachomatis and/or Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This assay has not been evaluated for use in patients less than 14 years of age. NOTE: For urine specimens, collection of more than 50 mL of sample may dilute the target and thereby reduce test sensitivity.
