Syndromic Testing

What to do if symptoms are not apparent?

Various pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites, can trigger similar symptoms but must be treated differently. Especially in the case of infections of the respiratory tract, the gastrointestinal tract, or sexually transmitted diseases, it is sometimes difficult to identify the correct cause of illness right away. For this reason, comprehensive and reliable diagnostics are essential as the basis for targeted therapy. 

 Traditional diagnostics are often tedious and require time-consuming cell culture tests or multiple repetitions of analysis. In comparison, syndromic diagnostics offers the advantage of simultaneously analyzing a wide range of pathogens. In turn, slowing down laboratory capabilities is cost-intensive and extends the time until the correct diagnosis.  

Consolidating analyses leads to optimized workflows in the laboratory, and repetition of tests is no longer required, saving time and money. As a result, patients receive appropriate treatment quickly, which prevents the possible spread of highly infectious pathogens and avoids unnecessary administration of antibiotics.
