PCR TESTING MENUS

Cabot lab is a leading laboratory for Texas specializing in PCR. This leading method allows the accurate detection of slow-growing and non-culturable organisms that would be missed in traditional microbiology culture. Our innovative assay validation and intelligent reporting algorithms differentiate colonization from infection and suggest the best treatment options.

Our accurate detection of antimicrobial resistance genes contributes to antimicrobial stewardship efforts and reduces unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions. Our highly personalized workflows, supported by our laboratory and client service professionals, provide faster results through our simple yet robust result reporting.

  • Our innovative assay validation approach enables us to report actual CFU/mL values for bacteria using our PCR methodology while many molecular labs report inaccurate copy numbers of organisms
  • Our panel spans the detection of bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens in one assay
  • In a traditional urine culture, only 57% of uropathogens can be detected whereas our molecular UTI panel detects >90% of these pathogens and their resistance markers
  • Our panel also detects UTI co-infections much more efficiently than standard urine culture
  • Our real-time PCR UTI panel delivers both identification and susceptibility results on the same day whereas culture-based methods take more than 72 hours
