One specimen, three pathogen classes, same-day result — including the results that tell you not to prescribe.CLIA #45D2048957 · CAP #8722734 · Same-day results · Walk-ins welcome
A multiplex molecular GI pathogen panel — bacterial, viral and parasitic targets in a single run — performed in-house at a CLIA-certified (#45D2048957), CAP-accredited (#8722734) high-complexity laboratory, with same-day turnaround. Clinically, its most valuable output is often negative: identifying viral gastroenteritis or STEC tells the clinician what not to prescribe.
