The Accutest Comprehensive Women’s Health (WH) RT-PCR Panel provides a multiplexed real-time PCR solution for the detection of key pathogens associated with vaginal infections and sexually transmitted diseases. Designed to support women’s health research, the panel detects bacterial vaginosis (BV)–associated organisms, Candida species, and common sexually transmitted pathogens within a single streamlined assay.

Women experience unique microbial and hormonal dynamics that can affect vaginal and urinary health throughout their lifespan. According to the CDC, early identification of vaginal and sexually transmitted infections is essential to protect reproductive health and prevent complications such as infertility, preterm birth, and chronic pelvic pain. The Accutest WH Panel enables simultaneous detection of multiple microorganisms that can influence these outcomes, supporting molecular investigations in women’s health research.

Each reaction includes an internal control to verify nucleic acid extraction, amplification, and detection, ensuring reliable and reproducible results. The panel is available in two formats — pre-spotted 384-well plates for high-throughput systems and tubes for 100 reactions — providing flexibility for laboratories of all sizes.

By consolidating broad pathogen coverage into one multiplex workflow, the Accutest WH RT-PCR Panel significantly reduces turnaround time and labor compared to culture or antigen methods. All products are shipped on dry ice and stored at –15 °C to –25 °C for optimal stability and consistent performance across lots.

The Accutest Women’s Health RT-PCR Panel delivers a robust multiplex assay capable of detecting 30 clinically relevant pathogens linked to bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, and sexually transmitted infections. Available in 384-well pre-spotted plates and 100-reaction tube formats, the panel enables efficient, high-throughput analysis of complex vaginal microbiota and co-infection patterns.

Broad-Range 4X MasterMix provides an optimized one-step RT-PCR solution for multiplex panels, combining high sensitivity with consistent performance across diverse sample types.
