Complete Syphilis (TP/nTP) antibody test

Combined detection of treponemal (TP) and non-treponemal (nTP) antibodies in one test.

In clinical trials

Not yet Health Canada approved

Answers in real time

The Multiplo® Complete Syphilis (TP/nTP) Antibody Test detects both treponemal (TP) and non-treponemal (nTP) antibodies in one assay, combining screening and confirmation in a single device. The TP component of the test shows past or current exposure to the syphilis bacterium, while the nTP screening test reflects antibody levels that rise during an active infection. By identifying biomarkers of active and past infection, the test provides a comprehensive, accurate, and cost-efficient testing solution that meets global testing needs. It delivers instant results in a simple three-step process.

  • Immediate results

    No waiting time, results do not vanish.

  • Reliable accuracy

    Achieves high testing performance.

  • Comprehensive testing solution

    Identifies biomarkers of active and past infection for a complete profile.

  • No equipment or refrigeration required

    Stores at room temperature (2–30 °C / 35–86 °F) with a 12-month shelf life.

  • Easy to use and interpret

    Simple procedure with instant, easy-to-read results, no special training required.

  • Ideal for POC setting

    Works with whole blood (fingerstick).

In a real-world STI clinic setting, the MedMira Multiplo® Complete Syphilis (TP/nTP) test demonstrated strong clinical performance and meaningful impact on patient management. Beyond enabling more rapid identification of infectious syphilis, the availability of a non-treponemal result at the point of care supported evidence-based decisions to withhold unnecessary antibiotic treatment. When used alongside clinical assessment and established staging algorithms, dual TP/nTP point-of-care testing can improve both timely treatment and antibiotic stewardship.

Why is combined TP and nTP testing important?

Combined treponemal (TP) and non-treponemal (nTP) testing provides a more complete and reliable assessment of syphilis infection. TP tests show whether someone has ever been exposed to Treponema pallidum, while nTP tests indicate whether the infection is currently active. Using both markers in a single test improves diagnostic accuracy, helps distinguish active from past or treated infections, and supports faster, more informed clinical decisions. This also helps avoid unnecessary treatment of patients who are TP-positive but do not have an active infection, preventing inappropriate use of antibiotics.

What makes Multiplo® Complete Syphilis (TP/nTP) Antibody Test different?

Multiplo® Complete Syphilis (TP/nTP) Antibody Test uses MedMira’s unique Rapid Vertical Flow (RVF) technology, which delivers instant results – significantly faster than conventional lateral flow assays. The RVF format requires two buffers and features a single reaction window, reducing user steps and minimizing error potential. Unlike traditional tests that depend on strict timing or multiple wash steps, RVF provides timeless, easy-to-read results with no refrigeration or specialized equipment required. The technology offers laboratory-grade accuracy, low cost per test, and supports multiplexing for future assay expansion – combining speed, simplicity, and performance in a single platform.

Why use a rapid test instead of a laboratory-based test?

Rapid tests provide valuable advantages across a range of environments, from point-of-care settings to research and laboratory workflows. They deliver results within minutes without relying on extensive infrastructure, specialized instruments, or highly trained personnel, which helps reduce costs and streamline testing processes. Modern rapid assays often demonstrate performance comparable to laboratory methods, making them a practical option for decentralized screening, high-throughput research studies, emergency situations, and programs that require immediate decision-making or broad accessibility.
