Molecular Testing

Importance of Molecular PCR Testing

With the rise of the viral and bacterial infections, diseases, and antibiotic resistance each year, molecular testing is highly needed to deliver sensitive, accurate, and rapid results containing precise DNA/RNA information. RDx offers advanced molecular testing using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology, which enables highly accurate and rapid identification of disease by identifying the exact causative pathogen by its DNA/RNA. It is a technique by which we can obtain genetic material from a virus or bacteria and force the RNA to replicate for study in the lab. By identifying the pathogen(s), clinicians can treat patients quicker with high confidence and with the appropriate diagnosis.

Why PCR testing is the better solution:

5

Identifies causative organism/bacteria/pathogen by its DNA/RNA – which makes it possible to diagnosis infections accurately

5
Identifies polymicrobial infections that may have been missed with traditional testing
5
Conventional culture and sensitivity testing routinely requires several days, where RDx delivers PCR test results rapidly within 48 hours
5
Reduced risk of specimen contamination with quicker results

RDx offers a wide variety of clinical tests from routine to customized in the following categories:

RPP
COVID-19
