[DIYbio] Re: Can I do these tests at home? Parasites, chlamydia...

as mentioned qPCR or rtqPCR should meet your needs. but you'll need pathogen specific primers. My understanding is you might have a hard time getting them. Modern DNA synthesis companies flag orders for sequences that match known pathogens as suspicious.

Hi!  I'm new to this group.  I am interested in doing the following types of tests at home, and would like to know if it's feasible?  And what equipment I would need?  At this point I haven't even bought a microscope yet.

Chlamydia and gonorrhea testing (nucleic acid or cell culture, from urine or swab)

Parasite testing from fecal and urine samples (giardia plus helminths / worms)

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!
