MicroGenDX is the world's most experienced lab for Microbial Identification using Next Generation DNA Sequencing. Already well established in medicine and research, this accurate technology is now available to the dental profession.

BENEFITS OF NEXT-GEN SEQUENCING VS PCR: PCR is an excellent diagnostic tool for rapid & specific species detection. PCR panels can detect between 8-35 species of microbes. Next-Gen DNA Sequencing is the best option for filling in the gap between rapid PCR detection and identifying all the species present in an infection. MicroGenDX has identified over 6,500 microbes in human samples through Next-Gen Sequencing. Many times identifying dominant microbial species missed by PCR panels.

Saliva or Saliva-Plus Pocket sampling methods: You can choose Saliva, or Saliva-Plus pocket sampling. In addition to saliva, we can process samples from deep in periodontal pockets. This will give you a more comprehensive diagnostic result versus saliva alone. Combine both collection methods in one bio=hazard bag and this will be run as one test.
