Precision and Speed in Diagnosis
We have highly specialized laboratory technology and procedures to accurately and promptly identify the causes of infectious diseases and their potential sensitivity to the most effective antimicrobial agents.
Our commitment to excellence in diagnosis has led us to incorporate some of the most advanced tools available in the field. Among the techniques we perform are:
Real-Time PCR (qPCR): This technique allows us to detect and amplify specific DNA or RNA segments of pathogens, enabling rapid and accurate identification of the causes of infections.
Automated Culture: Our automated culture systems accelerate the growth and detection of microorganisms in clinical samples, providing faster and more precise results.
Automated Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing: These systems help evaluate the sensitivity of microorganisms to various antibiotics, allowing us to make informed decisions about effective treatments.
Digital PCR: This technique enables precise quantification of nucleic acids, allowing us to detect infections with low viral or bacterial loads.
Antigen and Antibody Testing: These rapid immunological tests detect viral antigens or specific antibodies for various pathogens, such as respiratory viruses and bacteria causing infections.
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): We maintain strategic collaboration agreements with top genomic laboratories, enabling us to offer our patients access to massive DNA sequence analysis. This provides a unique capability to identify unknown microorganisms and address complex samples containing multiple infectious agents.
