- The test uses two distinct single-stranded nucleic acid probes for each organism, a capture probe and a color development probe, that are complementary to unique genetic sequences of the target organisms
- The capture probes are immobilized on a bead embedded in a Probe Analysis Card (PAC), which contains a separate bead for each target organism
- The color development probes are contained in a multi-well Reagent Cassette (RC)
- Kit includes: 24 Probe Analysis Cards (PAC), 24 Reagent Cassettes (RC), 3.4 mL Substrate Solution, 10.8 mL Lysis Solution, 15 mL Buffer Solution, 24 Filter Tips, 24 Sample Collection Cups, 24 Sample Collection Tubes, 24 Sterile Swabs
- Individually packaged cards, wrapped in an absorbent paper towel moistened with a solution containing sodium azide (0.1%, w/v) as a preservative
- Each PAC contains the following five beads: Negative Control, Trichomonas, Gardnerella, Candida, and Positive Control
- Reagents are sealed in multi-well, foil covered cassettes
- Each cassette has seven wells
- All reagents are supplied ready for use
