Cepheid Xpert CT/NG

The Xpert® CT/NG Assay, performed on the GeneXpert Instrument Systems, is a qualitative in vitro real-time PCR test for the automated detection and differentiation of genomic DNA from Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and/or Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) to aid in the diagnosis of chlamydial and gonorrheal urogenital disease. The assay may be used to test the following specimens from asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals: female and male urine, endocervical swab, and patient-collected vaginal swab (collected in a clinical setting). The Cepheid® Xpert® CT/NG Vaginal/Endocervical Specimen Collection Kit is designed to collect, preserve and transport patient CT and NG DNA in endocervical and vaginal specimens prior to analysis with the Cepheid Xpert CT/NG Assay. The Cepheid® Xpert® Urine Specimen Collection Kit is designed to preserve and transport CT and NG DNA in first-catch male and female urine specimens prior to analysis with the Cepheid Xpert CT/NG Assay.
