Why Macro & Micro-Test’s AIO 800 Sample-to-Answer Protocol Matters for STI Control
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) continue to pose a major global public health challenge, driven largely by delayed diagnosis and widespread asymptomatic transmission. To address these gaps, Macro & Micro-Test (MMT) introduces its flagship addition to the AIO 800 platform — the STI-14 Sample-to-Answer solution, designed to redefine speed, accuracy, and accessibility in STI diagnostics.
Faster Diagnosis → Earlier Treatment
The AIO 800 STI-14 enables simultaneous detection of 14 key STI pathogens—CT, NG, UU, UP, HSV-1/2, Mycoplasma genitalium (Mg), GBS, TP, HD, CA, TV, GV, and Mycoplasma hominis (Mh)—within minutes.
By delivering comprehensive molecular results during the patient’s initial visit, clinicians can make immediate treatment decisions, reducing delays that often allow infections to progress or spread.
Preventing Silent Transmission
Asymptomatic infections are a major driver of ongoing STI transmission. The AIO 800 STI-14 offers exceptional analytical sensitivity, reaching 400 copies/mL for CT, NG, UU, UP, HSV-1/2, Mg, GBS, TP, HD, CA, TV, and GV, and 1,000 copies/mL for Mh.
This high sensitivity enables early and accurate detection, effectively identifying silent infections and significantly reducing unknowing transmission within communities.
Expanding Testing Access Across Settings
Designed for simplicity and flexibility, the system supports multiple sample types, including urine, male urethral swabs, female cervical swabs, and vaginal swabs. Its streamlined operation makes it suitable for hospitals, outpatient clinics, laboratories, and low-resource settings, expanding access to high-quality molecular STI testing.
Built-in Contamination Control for Reliable Results
Reliability is ensured through an advanced 11-layer contamination-control system, integrating Physical Zoning, Magnetic Bead Extraction with Anti-Splash Shield, Unidirectional Airflow Design, “8+3” High-Power Fan System, Negative-Pressure Containment, HEPA-Filtered Exhaust System, Pre-Packaged Single-Use Consumables, Reinforced Reaction Tubes and Caps, Paraffin Oil Sealing, UDG Anti-Contamination and UV Decontamination. This comprehensive protection minimizes contamination and safeguards result integrity—critical for high-confidence molecular diagnostics.
Easy Operation and Transportation
The use of lyophilized reagents allows for room-temperature storage and transportation, eliminating cold-chain dependence. This significantly simplifies logistics, reduces operational costs, and enhances usability in decentralized and remote environments.
Protecting Long-Term Health Outcomes
By enabling rapid and precise diagnosis, the AIO 800 STI-14 supports timely intervention that helps prevent serious long-term complications such as infertility, chronic pelvic pain, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and infection-related cancers, benefiting both patients and healthcare systems.
With its integrated Sample-to-Answer design, high sensitivity, operational simplicity, and robust contamination control, Macro & Micro-Test’s AIO 800 STI-14 delivers a powerful and accessible solution for modern STI management—transforming diagnostics into immediate action and helping move global healthcare closer to ending the silent STI epidemic.
