Urinary Tract Microbiota Detection

When testing for urinary tract microbiota, speed and accuracy are critical. Traditional culture-based methods of pathogen detection can take up to 30 hours to product results and are imprecise, however. They lack sensitivity and specificity and have been shown to miss a high percentage of positive cases.

Applied Biosystems™ OpenArray™ and TaqMan® assays offer alternative, molecular solutions. They can detect urinary tract microbiota in less than five hours when processed through Applied Biosystems™ QuantStudio™ Real-Time PCR Systems. And they are 33% more accurate than culture-based methods, according to verification data. They also allow for flexible content, are optimized for multiple throughputs at a low cost per sample, and enable sample processing right in your lab.
