Inverness Medical reports that its Clearview Chlamydia MF test can provide a diagnosis in as little as 30 minutes, so that, during a single visit, a patient can also begin treatment.

The test detects the antigen using either female endocervical swabs or male urine samples, so is suitable for male or female patients. ‘The easy-to-use lateral flow test has in-built procedural controls which reliably confirm the test has worked correctly. It uses a unique heating step in the testing process which gives Clearview Chlamydia MF its high sensitivity, meaning clinicians can be confident in the test results,’ Inverness reports.
