Proprietary LAMP primer sets for rapid molecular detection of globally significant sexually transmitted infections

Image from Licence Details: Proprietary LAMP primer sets for rapid molecular detection of globally significant sexually transmitted infections

Applications: Rapid STI diagnosis, multiplexed STI diagnosis, STI surveillance, Sexual health clinic testing

A robust, commercially ready set of LAMP primers enabling rapid molecular detection of four globally significant sexually transmitted infections in a single streamlined assay. Developed with clinical performance and real-world deployment in mind, the primer sets integrate seamlessly into existing isothermal platforms and support expansion into parallel STI panels.

Features Benefits
  • Primer sets engineered for LAMP compatibility, enabling simultaneous detection of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), Herpes simplex virus (HSV), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) within a single isothermal reaction.
  • Allows comprehensive STI screening in one assay run, reducing reagent use, sample volume, handling steps, and turnaround time.
  • Primer sets designed following extensive bioinformatic analysis and BLAST validation to identify highly conserved, pathogen-specific gene regions.
  • Ensures broad strain coverage while maintaining strict specificity, reducing cross-reactivity and enabling reliable detection across diverse clinical isolates and geographies.
  • Rational primer design significantly reduces self-annealing and non-specific amplification, a known limitation of many LAMP assays.
  • Eliminates primer–dimer–driven false positives, improving assay accuracy and increasing confidence among clinicians, regulators, and diagnostic manufacturers integrating LAMP chemistry.
  • Demonstrated >95% sensitivity and 100% specificity compared with gold standard laboratory-based molecular methods.
  • Provides laboratory-comparable performance in rapid assays, supporting credible molecular POCT development and strengthening the commercial value of any LAMP-based diagnostic kit incorporating these primers.
