QPCR's Reliability, Reproducibility, and Use in Clinical ResearchĪlthough qPCR is becoming more commonplace in in-vitro diagnostics (IVD), we are the only laboratory in the United States exclusively using qPCR technology for advanced comprehensive stool testing.
It relies exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more, by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested. The GI-MAP (Microbial Assay Plus) is unique in the field of comprehensive stool testing. Assessing GI health with the proper tools can help practitioners get to the root cause of chronic illness. The gut microbiome, in particular, plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet and other factors on health, including digestive, immune, metabolic and neuroendocrine functions. Research overwhelmingly indicates that gut health impacts overall health. Optimal Health - It All Starts with the GI-MAP ®
