Sexual Health
R-Biopharm Australia delivers advanced multiplexed molecular assays for sexual health, enabling simultaneous detection of sexually transmitted infections, pathogenic flora, and antimicrobial resistance markers from a single sample. Utilising MT-PCR RIDA®Plex panels, our solutions offer high sensitivity and specificity, streamline diagnostic workflows, and support informed treatment decisions, empowering laboratories to deliver rapid, reliable results for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis, Candida species and HSV.
Comprehensive Molecular Testing for Sexual Health
Sexually transmitted infections are caused by a diverse range of bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic pathogens that often present with similar clinical symptoms. R-Biopharm Australia’s multiplex PCR solutions enable clinical laboratories to detect multiple sexually transmitted pathogens and antimicrobial resistance markers from a single sample, supporting faster diagnosis, informed treatment decisions and improved patient care.
Designed for modern molecular diagnostic laboratories, our sexual health testing portfolio delivers reliable, high-quality results while streamlining laboratory workflows and reducing the need for multiple individual tests. Backed by trusted global manufacturers and supported by local expertise, R-Biopharm Australia helps laboratories provide accurate and timely sexual health diagnostics with confidence.
