Chlamydiatest instructions

1a) (woman)

Carefully insert the swab further into the cervix, to the point where you can hardly see the tip of the swab. This is to ensure that you get the cells where the chlamydia bacteria are most often found. Turn the cotton swab around a whole lap either with or counterclockwise, let it sit still for 15 seconds, and then gently remove again. Try to avoid contamination from vaginal cells or mucus / secretion outside the vagina.

1b) (man)

Before the podium approx. 2-4 cm into the urethra. Turn the podium 360 degrees around (clockwise or counterclockwise), leave it in the urethra for 10 seconds, then pull it out of the urethra.

2.

Keep reagent bottle 1 vertically and drip 6 drops of the liquid into the extraction pipe. Place the podium in the tube. Press each side of the extraction pipe so that the podium is trapped between the two sides of the extraction pipe. Now turn the podium around 15 times. Leave the tube for 2 minutes.


3.

Keep reagent bottle 2 vertical and drizzle 7 drops of the liquid into the extraction pipe. Place the podium in the tube. Press each side of the extraction pipe so that the podium is trapped between the two sides of the extraction pipe. Now turn the podium around 15 times. Leave the tube for 1 minute.


4.
