Our PCR Sinus, Ear & Throat Panel

Our PCR Sinus, Ear, and Throat test is designed to accurately detect and identify a wide range of pathogens and viral infections that commonly affect these areas of the body. By analyzing the genetic material identified in specimens collected from the nasal passages, ear canals, and throat, this test can provide crucial information to healthcare professionals, especially otolaryngologists, enabling them to diagnose conditions such as sinusitis, ear infections, strep throat, mold and more. With its high sensitivity and specificity, our PCR Sinus, Ear, and Throat test offers a reliable means of diagnosing and managing these conditions, ultimately contributing to better patient care and outcomes.
