The ProteoGenix Amniotic Fluid Endpoint PCR test for detection of Bacterial/Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma species is available now and can be ordered by physicians to determine the presence of intraamniotic infection for patients in preterm labor.

Amniocentesis is required for collection of amniotic fluid. The amniotic fluid specimen is then sent to the ProteoGenix Clinical Laboratory where PCR testing is performed. In addition to amniotic fluid PCR testing, the ProteoGenix Clinical Laboratory offers all other standard amniotic fluid laboratory tests for detection of IAI for both clinical and research use.
