Conventional procedures for identification of Trichomonas from vaginal swabs involve detection by wet mount microscopy or by culture. Culture can take 24-72 hours. Wet mount microscopy provides results relatively quickly, but has a reported sensitivity of 58% versus culture.
The OSOM Trichomonas Rapid Test is an immunochro-matographic assay that detects pathogen antigens directly from vaginal swabs. Results are rapid, occurring within approximately 10 minutes.
- Easy to Run: Dipstick simple, one reagent
- Accurate: 95% agreement against Composite Reference Standard (culture and wet mount), unaffected by other common infections
- Fast: Results in approximately 10 minutes
- Flexible: Requires minimal training and lab personnel
- Objective: Provides easy-to-read, two-color results
- Room Temperature Storage: 16-month shelf life
