Eureka Laboratory has launched the first of its kind high sensitivity PCR testing, allowing persons to access diagnostic testing for twelve of the most common Sexually Transmitted Diseases. PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a laboratory technique to amplify a specific DNA fragment from a larger sample. It is commonly used for diagnostic testing for various sexually transmitted diseases. High-sensitivity PCR testing may detect lower pathogen levels in a sample, increasing the chances of detecting an infection. Still, it depends on the specific test and the pathogen being tested for. Renata Burnette has more details.
