Why Choose the MicroGenDX Prostate Test Service?

1. Comprehensive DNA-Based Pathogen Detection
   Unlike traditional culture-based methods, which can miss certain bacteria or fungi, our Prostate Test Service identifies over 57,000 microbial species with 99.2% accuracy–thanks to Next-Gen DNA Sequencing (NGS). These pathogens can harm your prostate health, causing conditions like chronic prostatitis or recurring urinary symptoms. Having a complete microbial analysis gives your provider the necessary insight to develop personalized treatment.
   The accuracy of our NGS testing is independently verified by the reputable College of American Pathology.
2. Antimicrobial Resistance Testing
   Utilizing rapid qPCR testing, this test detects 17 different types of antimicrobial resistance factors. These critical data points help your provider design a treatment that accounts for drug-resistant pathogens – promoting better health outcomes for you and preserving antibiotic usage.
3. Quick and Trustworthy Results
   Waiting for test results can be stressful, that’s why our expert lab team optimizes for reliability and speed so you can look after your health with confidence.
   Your test kit will be sent back to our lab via overnight shipping. Plus, qPCR test results will be ready within 24-48 hours after our lab receives your kit, with NGS test results ready within 3-5 days. All results are securely delivered via our online portal.
