UroGen ELITe MGB® Kit

Mycoplasma hominis (MH), Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU), and Ureaplasma parvum (UP) are bacteria involved in urogenital tract infections, associated with serious health complications. If left undetected, they can lead to diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease, preterm birth, and infertility.
SSimultaneous detection of these bacteria through molecular testing methods is crucial to ensure appropriate treatment.
The UroGen Elite MGB® Kit is a multiplex PCR assay designed to detect and differentiate the DNA of MH, UU, and UP. It is CE-IVD validated for use with first-void urine samples and cervical-vaginal swab samples, in combination with the fully automated ELITe InGenius® and ELITe BeGenius® systems.
The assay also allows for bacterial load evaluation by calculating defined Ct value intervals for each target.
