Molecular Diagnostic Testing
Pathogen Testing: Changing the Way Pathogens are Identified and Treated
Greater Accuracy… Faster Diagnostics… Greater Specificity Know Now… Know More
Molecular testing sequences a patient’s DNA or RNA for markers of potential future diseases. This type of test analyzes biological markers in an individual’s genetic code allows Genetworx to measure how cells express their genes as proteins (proteome).
The molecular tests combine laboratory testing with the precision of molecular biology and have revolutionized the way clinical and public health laboratories investigate the human, viral, and microbial genomes, their genes, and the products they encode.
This invaluable information is shared with healthcare professionals managing their patients to ensure diagnoses represent an accurate assessment of a patient’s condition.
Advancements in molecular diagnostic testing help improve the accuracy and speed by which healthcare professionals can detect microbial pathogens or analyze a patient’s genes. Molecular testing is becoming an essential aspect of patient-tailored interventions.
The speed, accuracy and significant reduction of false negatives employing this type of testing has changed the way healthcare professionals diagnose and treat patients.
Pathogen Testing Services
GENETWORx molecular pathogen testing identifies the specific pathogens that are causing the infection, as well as any antimicrobial resistance. The outcome is information that can help you select the optimal drug therapy for your patient.[1]
The PCR Testing Advantage
Detection
GENETWORx can detect more than 30 different types of pathogens and deliver 99% accurate results within 24-48 hours of lab sample receipt.
Accuracy
GENETWORx molecular pathogen testing is more accurate than standard culture testing. Our molecular pathogen testing detects anaerobic organisms growing deep inside that other tests may miss. [1]
Amplification
Speed
Our rapid turnaround time is within 24-28 hours from laboratory receipt.
Simplicity
Our simple to read report gives clinicians quick, actionable intelligence to make better treatment decisions.
Identification
Ability to identify pathogens when the patient is on empiric antibiotic treatment.
With molecular testing, not only can you receive a clear picture of the type and percent of pathogens causing the infection, in many cases, you can identify antimicrobial resistance. With the power of molecular testing, you can select the optimal medication therapy for your patient, improve treatment outcomes and reduce healthcare spend.
