Infectious disease test kit Femi SCAN™

vaginal secretionsclinicalfluorescence

BioMedomics Femi SCAN™ is more accurate, easier, and faster than standard wet film smear or gram stain microscopy. Our dual fluorescent staining agent is designed to stain the DNA and RNA of cells and microorganisms in vaginal secretion samples, which then display different colors under fluorescent microscopes. In addition, a fully-automated slide staining system is available to ensure consistency and make slide preparation fast and simple. Genital tract infections account for more than 55% of outpatient OB/GYN visits in the United States, with a total of 10 million office visits for vaginal infections. According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology’s clinical management guidelines, “Vaginitis has a broad differential diagnosis and successful treatment frequently rests on accurate diagnosis.” Features & Benefits A simple, fully-automated staining system is available for Femi SCAN. Additionally, the staining system can be used with non-viable pathogenic samples. Precise Sharp contrast, high sensitivity Highly specific DNA/RNA staining Not affected by sample variances Fast Intuitive visual interpretation Real-time results Steps 1. Smear clean microscope slide with sample. 2a. Use BioMedomics fully automated slide stainer to apply Femi SCAN two-part staining agent (30 seconds) -OR- 2b. Stain the slide manually with Femi SCAN two-part staining agent (1-3 minutes) 3. View with a fluorescent microscope. How does Femi SCAN work? BioMedomics Femi SCAN uses Sybr Green 1 and PerCP fluorescent dyes to specifically stain the DNA and RNA of cells and microorganisms in vaginal secretion samples, which display different colors under fluorescent light.
