Detection and identification of genetic material from 6 bacteria and 1 protozoan: Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum, Trichomonas vaginalis
We discuss bacterial genital infections in our blog post.
Molecular testing (Real-Time PCR) is characterised by high sensitivity and specificity, enabling the detection of infection even at an early stage. This makes it possible to start treatment quickly and avoid serious health complications.
Instructions for collecting test material
IMPORTANT! The sample must be collected in accordance with the instructions. Incorrect collection will result in the need to pay for a new kit to be sent again.
Contents of the collection kit

- Nitrile gloves
- Zip-lock bag
- FEMALE swab (vagina) – regular type
- MALE swab (penis) – flexible type
- Test tube with transport medium (plus sticker code)
- Molecular testing order form (plus sticker code)
- ‘Keep this number’ card (plus sticker code)
- Courier envelope
- Waybill for return shipment
The return courier shipment is prepaid. The biological material sample should be sent back in a rigid box; the genXone folder can be used for this purpose. If the folder is lost or damaged, it should be replaced with another package.
Information about the test result
Test completion time: up to 7 working days from the date of delivery of the material to the laboratory
The waiting time for laboratory test results is specified in working days, which means that Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays are not included. This time starts on the day the sample is delivered to the laboratory.
Example: If the sample arrives at the laboratory on Wednesday and there are no public holidays during the week, the result will be ready for collection by the following Friday at the latest.
