Test
Clinical Utility
The GI-MAP™ was designed to detect microbes that may be disturbing normal microbial balance or contributing to illness as well as indicators of digestion, absorption, inflammation, and immune function.
Method
Quantitative PCR
Method Description
GI-Map quantifies bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites using quantitative PCR technology. This test is a clinical tool that measures gastrointestinal microbiota DNA from a single stool sample.
