BioPlex 2200 TORCH Testing – At a Glance

TORCH Testing for Congenital Infections

TORCH infections can lead to congenital infections and may cause adverse outcomes in fetuses and newborns. While these infections may not cause significant illness in healthy adults, they can cause severe complications if transmitted to a fetus during pregnancy.1

TORCH testing includes Toxoplasma gondii, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus. Testing patients before pregnancy or during the prenatal period determines the immune status of the mother and identifies infections early.

The BioPlex 2200 System’s comprehensive menu offers flexible options for TORCH testing, including ToRC IgG, ToRC IgM, and HSV-1 & HSV-2 IgG.
