The test used in this kit is the APTIMA-Combo 2, made by Gen-Probe. The APTIMA Combo 2 tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea, and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. APTIMA-Combo 2 is a “NAAT” test, which means Nucleic Acid Amplification Test. NAAT technology is the most sensitive available. It can detect an infection from a sample containing a single chlamydia or gonorrhea bacterium. While no test is 100% accurate, this test is highly accurate and reliable, and is in fact the best test available.
