Sexually Transmitted Diseases Testing Market by Location of Testing

Based on location of testing, the market is segmented into Laboratory Testing and Point of Care (PoC) Testing. The laboratory testing segment comprises of Commercial/Private Labs and Public Health Labs.  Point of Care (PoC) Testing segment is observed to anticipate lucrative growth over the forecast period owing the advantages offered by the point of care testing devices.  One of the major advantages of POCT is that it provides much faster access to test results, allowing for more rapid clinical decision making and more-appropriate treatments and interventions.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases Testing Market by Devices 

The testing devices used for STD diagnosis are segmented on the basis of laboratory devices and point of care testing devices. The laboratory devices include PCR, Immunochromatographic capillary flow dipstick technology (Assay), Flow Cytometers, Differential Light Scattering Machines, Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) among others. The point of care testing devices segment includes phone chips, microfluidics, immunochromatographic tests (ICTs) and rapid diagnostic kits.  

Flow cytometry is a biophysical, laser-based analytical technology that measures and analyzes several physical characteristics of cells or particles suspended in a fluid, when passed through a laser beam. Flow cytometry has various advantages over traditional analytical methods including its ability to deliver precise and accurate results, and lesser time consumption at about same prices.
