Genitourinary Infection PCR Testing

Detect the Pathogen.
Direct the Treatment.

BDL's Genitourinary (GU) Infection PCR tests cover bacterial, viral, protozoal, and fungal pathogens across five clinical presentations — with results the same day we receive the specimen via the NIGHTHAWK PROTOCOL™ and NIGHTHAWK VERIFY™.

Comprehensive GU Diagnostics

Clinical examination room prepared for specimen collection

BDL offers five targeted GU Infection PCR tests designed for specific clinical presentations — from urethritis and vaginitis to genital lesion identification and asymptomatic STI screening. Each test is physician-ordered, individually billed per analyte, and includes antibiotic resistance gene profiling where applicable.

Every specimen is processed under BDL's NIGHTHAWK PROTOCOL™ and NIGHTHAWK VERIFY™ — temperature-monitored and tracked hourly by our 24-hour team with temperature verification on every shipment.

Specimen Temperature Monitoring
NIGHTHAWK VERIFY™

The temperature of every specimen tracked from your facility to our lab. We know if it ever reached 77°F. and for how long.

Every specimen shipped to our lab includes a proprietary high technology sensor, the device behind NIGHTHAWK VERIFY™. This compact sensor is placed inside every specimen container and monitors temperature throughout transport. If the sample ever reaches 77°F, the sensor records the cumulative duration of all breaches, giving our laboratory team measurable, visual proof of exactly how long specimen integrity was compromised.

When the specimen arrives at our lab, we know before testing begins. No guesswork. No assumptions.

Why BDL for GU Diagnostics

⚡
Results the Same Day

Rapid pathogen identification enables same-day treatment decisions and reduces transmission risk. Results the same day we receive the specimen.

🔎
Multi-Pathogen Coverage

Bacterial, viral, protozoal, and fungal organisms identified from a single specimen — comprehensive differential diagnosis in one test.

🎯
Resistance Gene Profiling

Antibiotic resistance gene reporting supports targeted prescribing and antibiotic stewardship — critical for STI treatment protocols.

🌡
Temperature-Monitored Specimens

Every specimen shipped to our lab includes a proprietary high technology sensor, the device behind NIGHTHAWK VERIFY™. This compact sensor is placed inside every specimen container and monitors temperature throughout transport. If the sample ever reaches 77°F, the sensor records the cumulative duration of all breaches, giving our laboratory team measurable, visual proof of exactly how long specimen integrity was compromised.
