Chlamydia DFA and EIA Testing

Chlamydia Microplate EIA

This EIA microplate allows direct detection of Chlamydia. The choice of microplate immunoenzymatictechnology and the use of a monoclonal antibody result in a combination of convenience and performance.


Chlamydia Testing Confidence

  • Objective results for any size lab
  • Shortened EIA Procedure to Culture (Resolved)
    • 90.68% sensitivity*
    • 99.93% specificity*
  • Standard EIA Procedure to Culture (Resolved)
    • 89.44% sensitivity*
    • 99.85% specificity*
  • Capture monoclonal antibodies increase specificity and minimize cross-reactions often seen in other Chlamydia products

Designed for Value and Productivity

  • Provides rapid, easy, and high-value Chlamydia testing
  • Microwell strip format
  • Friendly, flexible EIA procedures
  • Shortened assay with incubator-shaker provides results in less than 2.5 hours, making same-day screening and confirmation possible
  • Standard 3.5 hour assay at room temperature
  • Easily incorporated into the laboratory workflow

* Note: The “resolved” sensitivities and specificities listed above reflect the discrepant resolution of samples that were EIA positive
   and negative on first pass culture. A second passage culture was performed for these samples and results were recalculated.

Bio-Rad offers two complete kits for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis: direct fluorescein antigen (DFA) and microplate (EIA).

The Pathfinder® Chlamydia DFA kit uses a direct immunofluorescence technique to provide clear, easy-to-read, and reliable results within 15 minutes. Chlamydial antigens are detected using a monoclonal antibody to the C. trachomatis major outer membrane protein (MOMP) that has been linked to fluorescein isothiocyanate. This test detects all 15 serovars specific to Chlamydia.

The Pathfinder® Chlamydia Culture Confirmation provides clear and reliable staining of intracellular inclusions (elementary bodies and reticulate bodies) in tissue culture. The monoclonal antibody used in this kit is directed against chlamydial lipopolysaccharide.

The Chlamydia Microplate EIA combines microplate immunoenzymatic technology and the use of a monoclonal antibody for convenience and performance.
