About Our Test
Urinary Tract Infection Test
ACCURATE
- Real-time PCR is far more sensitive then conventional Microbiology culture to detect uropathogens, which include bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
EASY
- Standard clean catch urine collection method.
- No need for refrigeration. Urine is stable in collection vial at room temperature.
- Dedicated client service individual for your office.
- Portal-based ordering of supplies and Fedex pickup.
- Courier pickup available
QUICK
- Our standard turn around time (TAT) is within 24 hours from specimen arrival.
Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based urinary pathogen detection provides a superior diagnostic method for UTI detection to a conventional culture-based method. Antibiotic resistance gene detection improves antimicrobial stewardship. Ultimately, it enables providers to offer timely, individualized and effective treatment.
