Description
- The Affirm™ VPIII Microbial Identification Test is a DNA probe test intended for use in the detection and identification of Candida species, Gardnerella vaginalis and Trichomonas vaginalis nucleic acid in vaginal fluid specimens
- 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
