Pathogen Testing: PCR Testing

Antibiotic resistance is an emerging crisis. The overprescribing of antibiotics has led to resistance and ineffectiveness of prescribed medications. At Helix Diagnostics, our pathogen detection testing is vital in this fight. Our PCR testing extracts genetic material despite the presence of biofilms and provides nearly 100% sensitivity and specificity within a given sample. We are here to help you serve your patients timely and accurately so that you can produce a treatment plan that will have the best outcomes.
