Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the MicroGenDX
What sets MicroGenDX apart from other labs?
MicroGenDX is a cutting-edge molecular diagnostics lab, providing NGS and qPCR testing services to Hospitals, Clinics and Offices, and directly to patients. As the only high capacity NGS laboratory in the world, MicroGenDX has a wealth of real-world experience. To date, MicroGenDX has processed millions of samples from patients all over the world, provides testing services to tens of thousands of providers, is contracted to provide testing services to dozens of major hospital systems in the United States, and has over 100 published studies supporting the use of NGS. Combined with certifications from CAP and CLIA that ensure consistently high testing standards, a stellar US-based customer service team, and a 4+ star rating on Trust Pilot, you can trust MicroGenDX to deliver the critical answers you and your provider need.
Did we mention we have developed the world’s best microbial database containing over 61,000 bacteria and Fungi? Or that we dropped our test result turnaround from 3-5 days to 24hrs from sample receipt at no extra cost to the consumer? Because we did that too.
What are the advantages of MicroGenDX technology?
- Rapid turnaround for PCR and NGS lab results, as soon as 24 hours from sample receipt
- Utilizes a proprietary database containing over 60,000 bacteria and Fungi
- Detects of up to 17 different resistance genes to aid in better antibiotic stewardship
- NGS technology offers superior accuracy and specificity to detect microbes
- Simultaneous identification of bacteria, fungi, and antibiotic resistance genes in one test
- Capable of detecting bacteria even in the presence of antibiotics
- Simple and discreet at-home sample collection
- Cost reduction and avoidance through better antibiotic stewardship
- Enhanced clinical value by reducing identification subjectivity associated with traditional culture methods
- Increased patient satisfaction
How long has MicroGenDX been serving patients?
- MicroGenDX, formerly known as Pathogenius, has been in operation since 2008. In 2017, the company was acquired and rebranded as MicroGen Diagnostics Laboratory or MicroGenDX.
What certifications does MicroGenDX have?
MicroGenDX holds CAP, CLIA, and CLEP certifications, ensuring the highest quality standards in laboratory testing. These certifications are from independent regulating organizations and guarantee the accuracy and reliability of your test results, regardless of your location. Want to read more about the rigorous certification and validation process required to achieve these certifications? Read our blog about it HERE. MicroGenDX also has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
What kind of testing does MicroGenDX Provide? How is it different?
MicroGenDX testing is based on a proprietary 2-part process that uses two cutting edge molecular techniques: qPCR and NGS. We use qPCR to detect antimicrobial resistance genes that indicate if microbes found in your sample are resistant to certain antibiotics. Then we use Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to identify the bacteria and Fungi present in your sample. Our NGS is incredibly powerful and can detect over 60,000 different bacteria and Fungi by their DNA. This combination of testing methods provides you and your health care provider with deep insight into the microbial landscape of your infection, allowing for precise diagnosis and treatment. The most common method of testing is called “culturing”, a process where a lab attempts to grow microbes collected from a sample. This process is very time-consuming and challenged by many problems. According to some studies, only about 2% of known bacteria can be grown in a culture and it can take weeks to get a result. MicroGenDX can detect bacteria/fungi by their DNA and is not restricted like culture, providing results in as little as 24hrs from sample with far more accurate results than conventional methods.
