Protect Your Baby’s Health with Group B Strep Testing
As an expecting mother, your baby’s health is your top priority. The thought of infections during pregnancy can be worrying, but knowledge is power. Our Streptococcus Group B Antigen Detection Test gives you the certainty you need to ensure a safe delivery and healthy start for your newborn.
Understanding Group B Streptococcus Testing
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a common bacteria that many healthy women carry without symptoms. However, during pregnancy and childbirth, it can be passed to your baby, potentially causing serious infections. Our advanced Latex Agglutination method accurately detects GBS antigens in serum, CSF, or urine samples, providing reliable results you can trust.
With daily turnaround times, you won’t have to wait anxiously for answers. Our professional team ensures your sample is handled with care and precision, giving you peace of mind during this special time.
Who Should Take This Important Test?
This test is especially important for:
- Pregnant women in their third trimester (35-37 weeks)
- Women with previous GBS-positive pregnancies
- Those experiencing urinary tract infections during pregnancy
- Mothers concerned about newborn infection risks

Even if you feel perfectly healthy, GBS can be present without symptoms, making testing essential for your baby’s protection.
