Diagnostic Solutions GI-MAP™
$ 642.00
The Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP) was designed to assess an individual’s microbiome from a single stool sample, with particular attention to microbes that may be disturbing normal microbial balance and may contribute to changes in the gastrointestinal (GI) flora or illness. The panel is a comprehensive collection of microbial targets as well as immune and digestive markers. It screens for pathogenic bacteria, commensal bacteria, opportunistic pathogens, fungi, viruses, and parasites. It primarily uses a quantitative PCR (polymerase chain reaction) method, that is one of the most powerful and sensitive gene analysis techniques available. With qPCR, all of the organisms are run separately, and in duplicate, which makes it possible to measure each organism accurately. All results are quantitative instead of qualitative (positive or negative), giving individuals greater depth in understanding their microbiome environment.
