In an effort to best serve our patients, we have recently improved and re-validated our Bacterial Detection by PCR assay. We are pleased to report that these changes have increased the diagnostic sensitivity of our assay by a factor of 10 to 100, varying based on the organism that is present (Figure 1). We expect that these improvements will provide greater diagnostic yields, and will increase the rate of successful molecular diagnoses that we are able to achieve.
We now offer this enhanced assay as standard practice, so that all ordered tests for Bacterial Detection by PCR will automatically benefit from these technical advances.
