HOW TO USE THE TEST
Chlamydia / Gonorrhea
- Hold buffer A vertically and add 6 full drops (approx. 240µL) into Extraction Tube 1.
- Collect a cervical sample, then insert the first swab into the extraction tube 1 with buffer A.
- Compress the swab against the bottom of the tube and rotate the swab 15 times.
- Press the swab against the inner wall and remove while squeezing the tube to retain the liquid.
- Discard the swab and attach the adjustable pipette securely to the extraction tube.
- Shake vigorously and set aside, allowing bubbles to settle.
Trichomoniasis
- Hold buffer B vertically and add 6 full drops (approx. 240µL) into Extraction Tube 2.
- Collect a cervical sample, then insert the first swab into the extraction tube 1 with buffer B.
- Compress the swab against the bottom of the tube and rotate the swab 15 times.
- Press the swab against the inner wall and remove while squeezing the tube to retain the liquid.
- Discard the swab and attach the adjustable pipette securely to the extraction tube.
- Shake vigorously and set aside, allowing bubbles to settle.

READ RESULTS
POSITIVE: A coloured band appears in the control band region ( C ) and another coloured band appears in the ( T ) band region.
NEGATIVE: One coloured band appears in the control band region (C ). No band appears in the test band region ( T ).
INVALID: Control band fails to appear. Results from any test which has not produced a control band at the specified reading time must be discarded. Please review the procedure and repeat with a new test.
*NOTE: The intensity of the red colour in the test line region ( T ) may vary depending on the concentration of Chlamydia / Gonnorhea / Trichomoniasis Antigen present in the specimen. Therefore, any shade of red in the test region ( T ) should be considered positive.
