Goffin Molecular Technologies: Pioneering Chlamydia Detection

Chlamydia remains one of the most diagnosed STIs worldwide. The urgency for rapid, precise, and trustworthy detection methods can’t be overstated. The Presto CT/NG stands as a paragon of innovation, fulfilling these very needs, a product of Goffin Molecular Technologies’ commitment to enhancing patient care through progressive diagnostic solutions.

Fundamental Principles of Presto’s Technology

Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA detection via the PCR is rooted in amplifying specific segments of the CT cryptic plasmid DNA and the NG’s opa genes. The amplified PCR products are identified in real-time using specific internal probes, each connected to a distinct fluorescent reporter dye. This real-time tracking and advanced monitoring make the detection more precise and timely.

Unique Features Setting Presto Apart

Two standout features embellish the Presto Kit:

• Isolation/Inhibition Isolation Amplification Control: This component ensures that inhibitory substances in clinical samples, which might interfere with detection, are accounted for. By merging real-time PCR with this control, the kit provides a combination that ensures genuine positive results with high specificity and sensitivity.
• CT and NG Selectors: This component addresses potential issues with double infections wherein one bacterium’s high presence might overshadow the other’s detection. Through these selectors, the kit can identify even a low load of one target when a high load of another target exists in the same sample.

Presto’s Advantages: Why It’s A Game-Changer

For professionals in the field, the Presto CT/NG PCR Kit brings forward several compelling advantages:

• Fast Results: Capable of detecting all Chlamydia Trachomatis serovars and Neisseria Gonorrhoeae within just 60 minutes.
• High Sensitivity: Its real-time PCR foundation ensures top-notch sensitivity in detection.
• Exceptional Robustness: Crafted for reliability, making it the top pick for labs even in the most demanding and remote environments.
• Unparalleled Price Point: Manufactured in The Netherlands, it offers unparalleled quality at homebrew pricing, ensuring accessibility for labs globally.
• Unique Double Infection Detection: Employs selectors for accurate identification of double infections, capturing cases other kits might miss.Optimized Control: Incorporates a bacterial Isolation Amplification Control for comprehensive control of the PCR reaction.

The Final Word

The Presto 500 CT/NG PCR Kit from Goffin Molecular Technologies is not just another diagnostic tool; it represents the future of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea detection. For lab scientists, it offers a blend of speed, precision, and reliability that stands out in the crowded field of diagnostic solutions.

As Chlamydia detection methods evolve, it’s clear that the Presto CT/NG is paving the way, setting new standards, and offering labs an unparalleled tool in the battle against STIs.
