Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Picture
WHO research priority is to evaluate the implementation of novel rapid point-of-care molecular and non-molecular assays and optimal testing and screening approaches (including self-testing) for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and antimicrobial resistance detection to reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescribing and emergence of antimicrobial resistance.
O
pen the door to optimising your STD testing by buying into Amplex eazyplex® LAMP diagnostics. They offer identification with TAT under 30 minutes for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, then look at the eazyplex® SuperBug series for detecting prevalent Gram negative resistances (such as KPC, NDM, AmpC and CTX-M) also under 30 minutes
eazyplex® STDs - the performance
Rapid point of care testing for four bacterial sexually transmitted infections using the portable isothermal loop-mediated nucleic acid amplification eazyplex platform.
from  Germany & Austria  Infection  51, pages1141–1145 (2023) 
Conclusion, our study demonstrated that the eazyplex platform is a useful rapid diagnostic method for POC bacterial STI testing, especially for N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis. In addition to good sensitivity and very good specificity it offers the clinical benefit of almost immediate treatment initiation.
Rapid point of care testing for four bacterial sexually transmitted infections using the portable isothermal loop-mediated nucleic acid amplification eazyplex platform, our study demonstrated that the eazyplex platform is a useful rapid diagnostic method for POC bacterial STI testing, especially for  and  In addition to good sensitivity and very good specificity it offers the clinical benefit of almost immediate treatment initiation.
​​Key characteristics are:
  • TATs under 30 minutes
  • Ease of use, No DNA extraction 
  • Suitable for single or small numbers of tests
  • ​Samples from swab - rectal/anal; vaginal; cervical, pharyngeal 
  • Accuracy
    ​
​According to the WHO, one million people worldwide are infected with Sexually Transmitted Diseases every day. This implies that timely diagnosis and therapy of this STD can not only prevent sequelae, but can also reduce the risk of transmission to sexual partners. A quick and uncomplicated diagnosis is a good preventive tool to reduce the prevalence and further spread of STDs.
eazyplex® STDs - the products
Just choose your test from our portfolio according to your requirements. ​You will have the results in 25 minutes ​  ​

All buffers and reagents required are included in the kit.

The Genie Platforms for eazyplex®
​Genie® II and the Genie® HT are the current models.
The compact Genie II is a light and robust device for rapid individual tests 24/7. The device has two heating blocks. The blocks can be controlled independntly of each other and thus offer maximum flexibility.
The Genie® HT is a modular upgrade with the option of 1 up to 12 independant working blocks for high throghput settings.
Two processing devices are currently available with interesting developments following. The ingenious Genie® allows you to carry out fast and highly sensitive molecular  diagnostics of DNA and RNA.
This powerful and extremely flexible platform enables isothermal amplification of all DNA and RNA targets in one compact device. It was specially developed for isothermal amplification assays with real-time detection based on fluorescence.

The Manufacturer​
Amplex Diagnostics GmbH is a German-based company founded in 2002 that specialises in providing rapid and robust CE-IVD tests to aid the diagnosis of microbiological infections. One of their products  was the world's first MRSA multiplex PCR test to be CE IVD-certified for testing directly from sample material.
Amplex makes the latest advanced  technology available in a simple and user-friendly manner. Their eazyplex® system which can be operated intuitively, combines isothermal amplification (LAMP) with real-time detection.  The eazyplex® reagents are supported by the Genie platforms which enables isothermal amplification of all DNS and RNA targets in one compact device. It was specially developed for isothermal amplification assays with real-time detection based on fluorescence and enables reading of molecular diagnostics Real-time detection within a few minutes.
