New: The First Commercially-Available Molecular Solution for Urinary Tract Microbiota Analysis

Evan Diamond, Associate Director, Global Market Development

Although widely used, culture-based methods for the detection of pathogens involved in UTI’s lack sensitivity, are subjective, take a long time, and have been shown to miss a significant percentage of positive cases.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed the first molecular solution for UTI pathogen detection that laboratories can implement themselves. Utilizing real-time PCR technology and optimized for multiple throughputs – this solution increases specificity and sensitivity, with over 25% increased accuracy in urinary tract pathogen detection when compared to culture methods, in only 5 hours.

Learn about the solution, the evidence, and how this solution can possibly improve UTI pathogen detection in clinical laboratories.
