TrueMark STI and Vaginal Health Research Products

Real-time PCR products with high analytical sensitivity are needed to support laboratory research to study outbreaks and determine disease etiology where pathogens are similar.

Our portfolio of real-time PCR sexually transmitted infections and vaginal health research products are used to analyze a range of pathogens including viruses, bacterias, parasites and fungi, with high analytical sensitivity.

These solutions are efficient, generate informative results, and solve many of the challenges associatedwith the use of immunoassay-based, culture-based, and other molecular research methods.
