Each diagnosis can be achieved within 36 hours of sampling based on an objective technique utilizing an array of genus- and species-specific DNA fragments. Thus, this new strategy provides a substantial improvement in diagnosis time from the 14 to 21 days typically experienced with currently recognized conventional culture plating and subjective microscopic methods. Among the clinics features are its: Objective diagnostic tools Consistent results Timely reporting Accurate diagnoses Comprehensive knowledge base © 2001 - 2016 Scientia Terrae Research Institute
