Our PCR UTI Panel

Our PCR UTI test is designed to accurately detect urinary tract infections (UTIs) with unparalleled precision. Utilizing the highly sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, our test amplifies and analyzes genetic material from patient urine samples, enabling the timely identification of the causative pathogens responsible for UTIs. Our UTI test ensures comprehensive and reliable results, facilitating targeted and effective treatment decisions to promote improved patient outcomes.
