The AVID Screen
The AVID Screen is the practical answer to this health care necessity, providing comprehensive testing for bacterial vaginosis, candida vaginitis, and trichomoniasis.
Detects 3 Categories of Infectious Agents:
AVID Screen gives positive or negative indication of bacterial vaginosis, candida vaginitis, and trichomonas species.
Conclusive Results with Advanced Technology:
Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is the leading method for delivering objective test results.
Standardized Data for Maximum Efficiency:
AVID Screen provides clear, objective results with a fast turnaround so that you may skip the time-consuming clinical conjecture and quickly recommend the right course of treatment.
AVID Screen
More than 7 million women are estimated to be infected with BV each year, and over 80% of those infected report no symptoms.* Your patients need reliable access to medically necessary testing so that you may provide the right diagnosis the first time.

Why AVID Screen
Benefits of the AVID Screen
- Bacterial vaginosis can be effectively treated with antibiotics, so accurate
diagnosis and giving appropriate treatment could prevent some premature births. - Comprehensive coverage of BV and CV species
- Fast turnaround
- Amplify probe technique
