New technology in chlamydia test

The chlamydia test is about to be revolutionised thanks to a clever use of new technology.

The Chlamydia Rapid Test is a quick and easy urine test designed to make the process of testing for the sexually transmitted infection non-invasive and free from discomfort. The new test combines a unique signal amplification system with an innovative yet simple device which collects the first voided urine. This “first burst” contains up to six times more chlamydia bacteria than a standard urine sample, which helps to make the chlamydia test more accurate.

Chlamydia is a nasty disease which can lead to very serious complications, although it is actually very simple to treat. Hopefully this new test will make it easier for doctors to combat the spread of the infection.
