| The inSTIcheck Gonorrhea test involves the chemical extraction of the Gonorrhea antigen followed by solid-phase immunometric assay technology for the qualitative detection of extracted sample. In the test procedure, an endocervical specimen is collected with a swab and Gonorrhea antigens are extracted from the specimen with extraction reagents. The extract is added to the sample well with the aid of a transfer pipette and allowed to soak in. If Gonorrhea antigen is present in the specimen, it will react with the conjugate dye, which binds to the antibody on the membrane to generate a colored line in the test window. Unlike classical culture methods for identification which require 48-72 hours to produce results, the InSTIcheck Gonorrhea test requires only 10 minutes. |
