Expanded GI Panel

To ensure high sensitivity and specificity of pathogenic organism detection, DiagnosTechs employs state-of-the-art equipment and testing methods, capable of identifying over 4,000 specific microorganisms.  This is 100 times more than standard laboratories. Our equipment is primarily found in advanced reference laboratories and provides extremely rapid and precise results.

DiagnosTechs Gastrointestinal Health Panels address:

• Pathogen screening for bacteria, yeast, and various parasites.
• Digestion-related screens for enzyme levels and immunochemical markers for sensitivity to common offending foods.
