Bd Affirm Specimen Collection

The BD Affirm Specimen Collection kits are specifically designed for the targeted identification of key vaginal pathogens associated with common infections.

The system identifies the following three microorganisms:

• Candida Species
• Gardnerella Vaginalis
• Trichomonas Vaginalis

These tests can utilize either vaginal swab or vaginal secretion samples. Note that operational use of the test kits requires the separate Affirm VPIII Processor (120 V).

The BD Affirm Specimen Collection system is compatible with two specific types of samples, both used for the targeted identification of key vaginal pathogens:

• Vaginal Swab Samples
• Vaginal Secretion Samples

These kits are specifically designed for the clinical diagnosis of common causes of vaginitis, identifying: Candida Species, Gardnerella Vaginalis, and Trichomonas Vaginalis.

Note on Secretion Sample Kits:
Configurations that use the Vaginal Secretion Sample kits require special handling, including mandatory refrigeration, to ensure the integrity of the tests.

The BD Affirm Specimen Collection system offers multiple configurations based on volume requirements for identifying key vaginal pathogens, including Candida Species, Gardnerella Vaginalis, and Trichomonas Vaginalis.

The primary identification test kits are available in two main quantities:

• 24 tests/kit: Suitable for standard testing volumes.
• 120 tests/kit: A bulk option designed for high-volume testing.

Note that certain test kits are temperature-sensitive and require refrigeration for storage and transport to ensure optimal performance.

Specialized collection components are also offered, such as the 0.3 ml sterile collection tube, which is typically packaged in cartons of 10 units per box, with 10 boxes per case.

Yes, several configurations of the Bd Affirm Specimen Collection kits are temperature-sensitive and require specialized handling. This is critical for ensuring sample viability and accurate diagnostic results.

It is essential to check the configuration details for specific temperature requirements:

• Refrigeration Required: Specific variants are explicitly noted as requiring refrigeration for proper transport and storage.
• Standard Requirement: Other configurations are designated for standard temperature requirements.

The BD Affirm VPIII Microbial Identification system is specifically designed to provide targeted diagnostic testing for the common causes of vaginitis. It accurately identifies and differentiates the following three key vaginal pathogens:

• Candida Species (associated with yeast infections)
• Gardnerella Vaginalis (often linked to bacterial vaginosis)
• Trichomonas Vaginalis (the cause of trichomoniasis)

This specialization ensures reliable results for clinical diagnostics.

Yes, the Affirm VPIII Processor unit is required for use with the testing methodology of the Affirm VPIII Microbial Identification Kits.It is an essential component designed to standardize the analysis and conduct the diagnostic workflow for identifying specific microbial agents, including:

• Candida Species
• Gardnerella Vaginalis
• Trichomonas Vaginalis

If you are acquiring the processor unit, please note that it operates on a 120 V power requirement.

Yes, the BD Affirm Specimen Collection system is specifically designed for professional clinical laboratory use utilizing the Affirm VPIII Microbial Identification technology.

This system is essential for in-vitro diagnostics focused on:

• Targeted Identification: Accurately identifying key vaginal pathogens, including Candida Species, Gardnerella Vaginalis, and Trichomonas Vaginalis.
• System Requirements: The listing includes both specialized test kits (24 or 120 tests/kit) and the required Affirm VPIII Processor (120 V) to run the identification assays.
• Quality: All variants are supplied in Factory New condition.

Yes, certain configurations within the Bd Affirm Specimen Collection line are temperature sensitive and require specific handling to maintain sample viability.

• Refrigeration Required: Specific kits and collection tubes explicitly require refrigeration for proper storage and transport.
• Logistics Note: Due to the temperature-sensitive nature of these diagnostic products, some variants may be designated as non-returnable and certain drop-shipping arrangements may require pre-approval.

Yes, the Bd Affirm Specimen Collection kits and associated components are strictly designed for professional clinical and laboratory settings. They serve as essential medical diagnostic tools for in vitro testing.

This system is specifically utilized for the microbial identification of key vaginal pathogens, including:

• Candida Species
• Gardnerella Vaginalis
• Trichomonas Vaginalis

The kits are used with vaginal swab or secretion samples and require the dedicated Affirm VPIII Processor unit (120 V) for the testing methodology. Usage is restricted to qualified personnel performing diagnostic testing.

Yes, the BD Affirm system is designed for the targeted identification of several common vaginal pathogens from a single sample, supporting efficient and accurate diagnostic testing.

Specifically, the test kits identify the following key microorganisms:

• Candida Species
• Gardnerella Vaginalis
• Trichomonas Vaginalis
