Detect Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gonococcus).

Note: Specimens cannot be collected and used for Chlamydia/Gonococcus and routine chemistry or urine culture. Chlamydia/Gonococcus NAA requires the use of a first-catch specimen (the initial stream of urine that will wash organisms out of the urethra of men or women). Routine chemistry and bacterial or fungal culture require use of the clean-catch, midstream collection technique.
