PCR Multiplex for 14 infections: the Most advanced DNA test in Bangkok, Pattaya, Chaing Mai, Phuket, Ko Samui, Thailand

What is PCR 14? Why is it Important?

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a revolutionary laboratory technique that amplifies specific DNA sequences. Among its many adaptations, PCR 14 has emerged as a significant variant designed for advanced diagnostic and research applications. This article explores PCR 14, its mechanisms, applications, and benefits, highlighting why it has become a crucial tool in molecular biology and clinical diagnostics.

Advantages of PCR 14

• High Throughput: analyses multiple targets in a single reaction, saving time and resources.
• Precision: Reduces false positives and negatives with advanced protocols.
• Cost-effective: Consolidates tests, minimising reagent usage and labour.
• Versatility: applicable in clinical, research, and industrial settings.

One test that detects 14 STDs

WHAT ARE URINE PCR & SWAB PCR TEST?

PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction; it is also called Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) and is a modern molecular technique used to detect a particular pathogen (virus or bacterium) in a specimen of blood, body fluid, or other tissue. This technique detects virus/bacterial DNA. The nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) is the recommended method of testing for Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Ureaplasma, Mycoplasma, and Trichomonas, among other infections. It has very high specificity (higher than 99.5%) and higher sensitivity and accuracy than culture (old diagnosis technique). In both men and women, painless urine PCR (yeah, you just have to pee) and genital PCR were significantly more sensitive than culture. It can detect infection whether the organism is dead or alive! This is mostly done in first-world countries and medical schools.

URINE PCR FOR 14 INFECTIONS

Urine testing for STIs is becoming increasingly available. These days, 14 STIs can be detected using urine testing. Urine PCR tests are much more pleasant than urethral or cervical swabs (the old technique which was painful and uncomfortable) and are quickly becoming standard practice. Urine testing, as opposed to swab testing, makes it easier for people to undergo STI testing as part of their regular medical care. To collect the specimen for testing, YOU JUST HAVE TO PEE!

Here are the steps starting from
Registration >> Receive label sticker and container >> Go to the toilet
>> do not wipe or clean your penis/vagina >> open the urine cup >> pee the first stream urine until it’s filled halfway
>> place urine cup in specimen bag >> wash your hands with THANN hand wash and water
>> pass it to staff at the counter >> pay >> confirm email address >> Sashay away

SIMPLE SUMMARIZATION

  • Herpes Simplex type 1 (HSV-1), Herpes Simplex type 2 (HSV-2)
  • Trichomonas vaginlis
  • Mycuplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma Parvum, Ureaplasma urealyticum.
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
  • Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV)
• Our STD PCR Multiplex can detect infections in different locations;
  • Throat and oral cavity
  • Male and female urethra
  • anorectal area
  • vagina and cervix
  • sperm
  • skin lesions

• If you want to look for any possible infection in your urethra and urinary tract, you have to choose URINE PCR 14 infections which you will have to pass the urine.
• If you performed oral sex and want to check any possible infection in your throat, you have to chose THROAT SWAB PCR 14 infections which will be assisted by our staff.
• If you happen to be female who enjoys anal sex without a condom, men who have sex with men, and bottom for anal sex without condom, then you have to choose ANAL SWAB PCR 14 infections, which will be assisted by our staff.
• If  you are female who have vaginal sex, then you have to chose Vaginal Swab PCR 14 infections, which will be assisted by our staff.
