Introduction and the Importance of Early STI Diagnosis

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain one of the major public health challenges worldwide. ⚠️
Rapid, sensitive, and specific detection helps prevent disease transmission, long-term complications such as infertility, and reduces healthcare costs.

The RealCycler kits from the Spanish brand Progenie Molecular are designed with a multiplex format and ready-to-use workflow, enabling accurate detection of key pathogens through a standardized molecular PCR process.

Key Features of the RealCycler Kit

1. Ready-to-Use
   Simply add the DNA/RNA to the reaction mix and start the PCR cycle—no complex preparation needed.

2. Internal Control (CHIC)
   The CHIC control is added to each sample to monitor extraction quality and detect possible inhibitors, preventing false-negative results.

3. Wide Compatibility
   Compatible with multiple DNA/RNA extraction systems and standard laboratory thermocyclers.

4. High Sensitivity and Specificity
   Specially designed primers/probes ensure accurate detection even at very low microbial/viral loads—ideal for screening and confirmation.

5. Qualitative and Quantitative Results
   Supports both qualitative reports, and in certain panels, quantitative data for better clinical management.

Accepted Clinical Samples

• Liquid cytology

• Culture and anorectal swabs/exudates

• Wound, papule, and pustule swabs

• Upper respiratory swabs

• Genital swabs/exudates

• Viral transport medium (VTM)

• Blood and serum

• Colon biopsy

• Amniotic fluid

• Urine and more

Advantages for Laboratories

✔️ Reduced turnaround time thanks to a simplified, ready-to-use workflow
✔️ High accuracy and reliability with built-in internal control
✔️ Fully compatible with quality control procedures and laboratory documentation standards
✔️ Wide pathogen coverage in STI panels, including:
Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis, HSV-1/2, and more

Frequently Asked Questions about RealCycler STI Kits

Is RealCycler suitable for high-throughput laboratories?
