Stop Treating Vaginitis Empirically.
Stop guessing between BV, candidiasis, and trich. Resolve all three — plus the Lactobacillus depletion that drives recurrence — in one specimen.
Symptomatic vaginitis is treated empirically more often than it's accurately diagnosed. The result is recurrent symptoms, repeated metronidazole courses, missed candidiasis, and a frustrated patient cycling through providers.
Our 11-target panel identifies BV-associated organisms, Candida species, Trichomonas, and quantifies Lactobacillus depletion patterns — so you can prescribe the right therapy the first time, and explain why the last three didn't work.
The clinical weight behind this panel.
Industry statistics from public-health bodies and peer-reviewed literature — context for why this testing matters.
The most common vaginal condition in reproductive-age women.
Yet BV doubles HIV acquisition risk and predisposes to PID.

Conditions, syndromes & infections covered.
The clinical scenarios where this panel is the right call — built around the differential your providers are actually working through.
Bacterial Vaginosis & Dysbiosis
3Gardnerella, BVAB-2, Fannyhessea, Megasphaera, Mobiluncus, Prevotella — the polymicrobial pattern that defines BV.
Quantifies the loss of protective L. crispatus, L. gasseri, L. jensenii — and the L. iners predominance that often precedes dysbiosis.
E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus, and group B Strep — non-BV inflammatory pictures often misdiagnosed and mistreated.
Yeast & Parasitic Infections
2Species-level Candida ID — C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis.
Sexually transmitted protozoan causing frothy discharge, dyspareunia, and increased HIV-acquisition risk.
Pregnancy & Recurrent Symptoms
3Vaginal/rectal colonization during pregnancy — asymptomatic in the mother, devastating for the newborn.
The patient cycling through metronidazole, fluconazole, and back again with no relief.
Painful genital ulcers — rare in the U.S. but consequential when missed.
10 targets, resolved from a single specimen.
Each organism below is reported individually as Detected, Not Detected, or Inconclusive — grouped here by pathogen class for clinical scanability.

Multiplex real-time PCR resolves what culture and rapid antigen miss — fastidious organisms, polymicrobial infections, viruses, and resistance markers — from a single specimen.

Per-target results, with clinical context.
Every analyte is reported individually as Detected, Not Detected, or Inconclusive. What a Detected result means clinically depends on which category the target falls into:
Detection of Gardnerella plus BVAB-2, Fannyhessea, Megasphaera, Mobiluncus, or Prevotella supports a molecular BV diagnosis with higher sensitivity than Amsel/Nugent and identifies dysbiosis that drives recurrence.
Lactobacillus species (especially L. crispatus and L. jensenii) reflect a healthy, protective vaginal microbiome. L. iners predominance is often transitional and may precede dysbiosis.
Species-level Candida identification matters: C. glabrata, C. krusei, and C. parapsilosis frequently fail empiric fluconazole and require boric acid or alternative azoles.
Trichomonas confirms trichomoniasis; GBS detection informs prenatal management; S. aureus, E. coli, and Enterococcus may explain aerobic vaginitis or non-BV inflammatory pictures.
