VAGINAL PANEL by PCR

• A complete barcode square to read the barcode is needed.
• The name on the label needs to be toward the top of the tube.
• Please place only one (1) label on the tube.

VPAN

This panel will detect the three most common infectious causes of vaginitis: Bacterial vaginosis, Vulvovaginal candidiasis, and Trichomonas vaginalis. This panel uses a microbiome-based algorithm to detect an imbalance of normal flora to identify bacterial vaginosis. Yeast detection, which includes the identification of specific species C. glabrata and C. krusei, improves antimicrobial selection.

The detection of Bacterial vaginosis is based on a quantitative algorithm of the following bacteria: Lactobacillus species (L. crispatus and L. jensenii), Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, Bacterial vaginosis associated bacteria-2 (BVAB-2), and Megasphaera-1.
