BioGx CE-Marked Sexual Health Tests

BioGx recently launched five CE marked tests for sexual health running on the Becton Dickinson BD Max automated sample-to-result platform. They are the Candida Speciation GATPK assay, which is used to diagnose candida infection by detecting the presence of DNA from the species that represent approximately 95 percent of human candida infections — Candida glabrata, C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, and C. krusei; Candida-Trichomonas to diagnose candida and trichomonas infection by detecting the presence of DNA from Candida glabrata, C. albicans, C. krusei, and Trichomonas vaginalis; Lesion HSV to diagnose genital lesions by detecting the presence of DNA from HSV-1 and HSV-2; Lesion HSVHD to diagnose genital lesions by detecting the presence of DNA from HSV-1, HSV-2, and Haemophilus ducreyi; and Urinary Tract EKEGAS to diagnose urinary tract infections by detecting the presence of DNA from E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Enterococcus faecalis, and Group A Streptococcus.
