Operon has developed a new molecular diagnostic line based on the detection of amplified PCR products by immunochromatographic strip: the OligoGen products. This technology detects DNA from several pathogens associated with sexually transmitted diseases (STD) such as Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonohrroeae, Herpes simplex<\/i>, Mycoplasma genitalium and more. The general procedure has three steps: DNA extraction, amplification and hybridization\/detection. During this hybridization step, the specific DNA fragments bind to probes covalently bounded to latex coloured particles (colloid). Subsequently, during immunochromatography, these DNA complex + colloid are detected by specific antibodies that recognize labels added during PCR, resulting in the appearance of a coloured band pattern. The main advantages of these products include ready to use reagents provided in the kits, minimal equipment requirements and a hybridization step carried out in a tube, which increases the specificity and reproducibility of the process.<\/p>\n
