Proprietary LAMP primer sets for rapid molecular detection of globally significant sexually transmitted infections
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.
Applications: Rapid STI diagnosis, multiplexed STI diagnosis, STI surveillance, Sexual health clinic testing
| 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 |
