Fungal Nail testing by molecular technique

Quantitative PCR allows physicians to quickly identify the source of an infection at the molecular level. This highly sensitive and specific diagnostic testing method is greater than 95% accurate in identifying a variety of fungal/parasitic infection sources from a single patient sample. Diagnose and treat your patients sooner with molecular analysis completed in just 24-48 hours.

Molecular detection methods, including quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), have created a paradigm shift in diagnostic testing. These modern tools can accurately identify pathogenic fungal or parasitic infection sources much faster (1-2 days) as compared with common culture methods (>3 weeks.) This enables physicians to diagnose and treat their patients much sooner, contributing to more effective therapeutic outcomes and improved patient care.
