| METHOD AND INSTRUMENT FOR THE DETECTION OF NEISSERIA GONORRHEAE WITHOUT CULTURE - United States Patent 3,876,503 (2178 words) |
| A non-culture method and instrument for a rapid presumptive test for gonorrhea in which a specimen of exudate from a suspected case is placed in direct contact with a pledget containing a compound which reacts with Neisseria gonorrheae to produce a color change. |
| The principal object of this invention is to provide a diagnostic system which will detect Neisseria gonorrhea in the male without culture or the classical gram-staining method, both of which are time consuming and expensive to perform and require trained technicians and laboratory equipment. |
| When a diagnostic test for gonorrhea is to be made, the package is opened and the sterile swab is removed from its envelope, and a specimen of exudate collected to the tip of the swab. |
