MicroGenDX is a College of American Pathologists (CAP) accredited and Clinical Laboratory Improvements Amendments (CLIA) licensed clinical laboratory. Tens of thousands of patients with chronic and often life-threatening infections have benefited from MicroGenDX’s work. MicroGenDX's NGS technology offers several advantages over traditional culture-based methods for identifying microorganisms. It can detect a wider range of microorganisms, including those that are difficult to culture or grow in a laboratory. It also provides more accurate and comprehensive results, as it can detect multiple microorganisms in a single sample and identify them at the species or strain level. Additionally, NGS technology is faster than traditional methods, allowing for quicker diagnosis and treatment decisions. MicroGenDX's testing services are used in a variety of settings, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, dental offices, and veterinary clinics. Their technology has been applied to a wide range of clinical conditions, including chronic wounds, orthopedic infections, respiratory infections, and urinary tract infections, among others.
