Multi-centric validation of an in-house-developed beacon-based PCR diagnostic assay kit for Chlamydia and Neisseria and portable fluorescence detector.

CONCLUSION: Our kit was found to be as sensitive and specific as commercially available kits. Its low cost and ease of use will make it suitable for the routine diagnosis of C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae in the resource-limited settings of developing countries.
