Wound
Testing by PCR is the personalized solution for diagnosis of a wound infection
- Traditional cultures fail to grow more than 85% of organisms identified in chronic wounds. Cultures also have limitations which render them almost irrelevant for the diagnosis of polymicrobial clinical and biofilm infections.
- Identifies poly-microbial infections.
- Includes Resistance Gene Analysis to assist with therapeutic selection.
Comprehensive panel tests for the most common pathogens infecting wounds and soft skin.

Testing by PCR identifies causative organism/bacteria/pathogen by its DNA/RNA, which makes it possible to personalize antimicrobial therapy in wound care patients.
Providing rapid results for skin and soft tissue infections, avoiding delays in diagnosis and preventing infections from progressing.
