A traditional laboratory work-up for pneumonia involves multiple tests, including cultures, microscopy, EIA, and PCR. And results may not be available for days or weeks.

Respiratory Infections by Next-generation Sequencing

Applying metagenomic DNA and RNA sequencing enables Explify® Respiratory to detect and identify bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic pathogens by their unique genome sequences. The shift from conventional testing for preselected pathogens to an unbiased metagenomi-based approach can help identify microorganisms that have previously been missed.

Explify Respiratory is useful for identifying, common and rare pathogens, pathogens that are difficult to culture, new strains, and complex co-infections with one test.
