Chlamydia trachomatis-PCR is a qualitative kit for the qualitative determination of the DNA of the Chlamydia trachomatis genome in the test sample. Qualitative PCR kits are used to determine whether an infectious agent is present in a sample.
Chlamydia trachomatis is the bacterium that causes chlamydia, which can present in a variety of ways, including: trachoma, lymphogranuloma venereum, nongonococcal urethritis, cervicitis, salpingitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. C. trachomatis is the most common infectious cause of blindness and a common sexually transmitted bacterium.

During the polymerase chain reaction, the DNA of the Chlamydia trachomatis genome (target analyte) and the human-specific genetic sequence (internal control) is sequentially amplified, resulting in the release of specific fluorophores (FAM) and (HEX), respectively. Their fluorescence is recorded using a photofluorimeter of an automatic analyzer (amplifier).
Chlamydia trachomatis-PCR quality kit Ingeneko® consists of the following components designed to carry out 100 reactions:
| Component | Volume | Quantity |
| Buffer «Chlamydia trachomatis» | 1.0 ml | 2 pcs |
| Positive standard | 1.0 ml | 1 pcs |
| Negative standard | 2.0 ml | 1 pcs |
All components of the kit can be stored for 1 year from the date of manufacture without loss of effectiveness. All kit components are stored at -25°C to -16°C after transport. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 times) of the master mix and positive control should be avoided as this may affect assay performance.
