Development of the indicator system to control pH of the mucous membranes in gynecology

All biological fluids of a healthy person is maintained a constant pH, a change which may indicate various pathologies that can lead to severe chronic diseases. In the female body the acidity of vaginal secretions plays a very important role. Normally, this indicator is 3,8-4,4 units of pH. Changing this parameter in an acidic or alkaline side says the imbalance of internal microflora, the emergence of pathogenic bacteria that can bring to infertility, severe chronic diseases, and in the case of pregnancy to heavy flow and its risk of abnormalities in the fetus. Today, the definition of the pH of the vaginal secretion is one of the stages of violations bacterial biocenosis. In the absence of satisfying the definition of a range of pH test kits, it is determined by the test paper as a direct pH meters of the road and not practical for a small number of different consistencies and material. Using indicator paper to determine the pH brings a number of significant drawbacks. To measure the strip of paper is placed in a material that lasts for at Branche smears. A piece of paper gets wet, its color is difficult to determine, since it originally painted. You should consider the possibility of false positives pH meters when released into the vaginal discharge of cervical mucus, blood, semen, since the biological liquid has higher compared with vaginal secretions pH. Given the current problems, the creation of an indicator system for monitoring the pH of the mucous membranes in gynecology is a challenge and a unique solution to this problem, to date, has not been found. Employees of Tomsk State University jointly with company «Альдомед» offered products are capable to solve this problem. The basis of this development lay recipe using acid-base indicators, as well as other components of the composition and quantity of which is hidden the secret of production. The test system is a solution that can be used in the laboratories of medical institutions without harm to health and special disposal methods. Identification of the pH is carried out visually, using a color scale, and 0.5 U determining step. That is a prerequisite for development. The product was tested in medical laboratories in more than 200 real samples, check reviews of the indicator system flawlessly.
