The BDProbeTec™ ET Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) Amplified DNA Assays, when tested with the BDProbeTec ET System, use Strand Displacement Amplification (SDA) technology for the direct, qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA in endocervical swabs, male urethral swabs, and in female and male urine specimens as evidence of infection with C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, or of co-infection with both C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae. Specimens may be from symptomatic or asymptomatic females for the BDProbeTec ET CT and GC Assays, from symptomatic or asymptomatic males for the BDProbeTec ET CT Assay, and from symptomatic males for the BDProbeTec ET GC Assay. A separate Amplification Control is an option for inhibition testing (BDProbeTec ET CT/GC/AC Reagent Pack).
