Coriell Life Sciences Bacterial Vaginosis Assay

Coriell Life Sciences launched a solution for the quantitative diagnosis and reporting of bacterial vaginosis. Coriell, together with Quantigen, developed the assay and a reporting algorithm that runs on Thermo Fisher Scientific's real-time PCR-based OpenArray technology. The solution provides affordable and comprehensive sample analysis with rapid turnaround times, allowing Coriell to report which microorganisms are present and at what quantities. The test aids in the differential diagnosis of other vaginal infections that clinically present with the same signs and symptoms as bacterial vaginosis, Coriell said.
