About MicroGenDx
Accurate DNA Diagnostics When You Need Them Most
Why Choose MicroGenDX?
More Reliable and Accurate Testing
Standard tests may not be reliable, with many coming back as "no growth", meaning nothing was found. MicroGenDX's advanced Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS) service identifies bacteria and fungi by their DNA with 99% accuracy so you get the answers you need.
Proven Effectiveness
Over 100 published clinical studies demonstrate the superior effectiveness of MicroGenDX testing in solving infections compared to culture, especially when they are complex, chronic or recurring.
Lightning Fast Results
You get your DNA-based diagnostic results the day after we receive your sample. One simplified report delivered faster than any NGS lab in the nation.
Not Just PCR
While many labs offer PCR testing, MicroGenDX combines it with advanced NGS, capable of detecting up to 60,000 pathogens while showing the relative abundance of each. This is crucial for treating complex infections involving multiple species.
Clinicians praise MicroGenDX for advancing diagnostics and improving treatment outcomes. The combination of qPCR+NGS provides the gold standard of DNA sequencing at the lowest cost worldwide.
"NGS is changing our understanding of microbial communities. The future in Urology involves non-culture molecular diagnostic technology like NGS."
J. Curtis Nickel, M.D., Research Chair in Urologic Pain and Inflammation at Queens University
Key Benefits of MicroGenDX qPCR+NGS Technology
Results in as little as 24hrs from sample receipt. Faster than any other high capacity NGS lab in the world.
Capable of Detecting 17 different kinds of Antimicrobial Resistance.
Detection of Microbial DNA against our world-class curated database, containing over 60,000 unique Bacteria and Fungi
Backed by years of experience running hundreds of thousands of samples
Our mission at MicroGenDX is to improve clinical outcomes by providing clinicians and patients with the best microbial diagnostic tests possible. As a global leader in NGS diagnostics, we're dedicated to continuous improvement and delivering desperately needed advances to those that need it most.

MicroGenDX qPCR + NGS
Traditional Culture
Diagnostic test
qPCR+NGS performed with consistent, rapid turnaround times. (24hrs from sample receipt)
Culture performed with highly variable turnaround times (days to weeks)
Effectiveness
• 99.2% accuracy identifying all bacteria and fungi in sample, listing species by relative abundance • Antimicrobial resistance genes detected indicate potential resistance of entire
• 50% chance of “no growth” culture results • <30% accuracy at determining dominant species • Susceptibility results for single in vitro species, not resistance for entire in vivo community (biofilm/ polymicrobial)
Treatment
Research-based antimicrobials for consideration in treatment, based on the Sanford Guide and Johns Hopkins Guides
Best guess antimicrobial Rx for treatment, without diagnostic evidence to support efficacy
Outcome
Rapid, Targeted Symptom Resolution
Relive patient suffering quicker and at lower treatment cost with precision diagnostics
Repeat Office Visits
With no symptom resolution, patient suffering is prolonged and costs for treatment are increased
