Gastrointestinal infections pose a significant global health threat. GI infections are the fourth leading cause of death worldwide in children under 5 years of age. The diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections poses a variety of challenges for laboratories, particularly in terms of time and resource efficiency.
Challenges in GI diagnostics
- Wide range of pathogens
- Mandatory reporting, time critical analyses
- Wide rang of laboratory methods
- Workload for laboratory staff
- Same symptoms – different pathogens
- Multiple testing of a patient sample
Workflow optimization using PCR
Save time:
Results within hours instead of days enable quick and appropriate treatment decisions and support the fight against antibiotic resistance.
Broad pathogen coverage:
A test can cover a wide range of possible pathogens.
Reduced workload:
Fewer manual steps and handling errors.
Precise diagnoses:
Higher sensitivity and specificity compared to traditional methods.
Harmonized processing:
Test requirements for bacteria, viruses, and parasites with a single workflow.
