WHEN WAITING DAYS FOR AN ANSWER IS TOO LONG

AXPATH Biotechnology LLC provides rapid molecular microbiology solutions for organizations that need faster detection and identification of microorganisms.

Traditional microbiology methods remain important, but culture, incubation, isolation, identification and confirmation can require considerable time.

For selected applications, molecular technologies may provide useful information significantly sooner and help laboratories respond more rapidly to microbial contamination and infectious-disease problems.

WHAT MICROORGANISM DO YOU NEED TO DETECT?

AXPATH is interested in applications involving:

• Gram-positive bacteria

• Gram-negative bacteria

• Anaerobic bacteria

• Viruses

• Yeasts

• Molds

• Fungi

• Antimicrobial-resistant organisms

• Veterinary pathogens

• Foodborne pathogens

• Water-associated microorganisms

• Environmental contaminants

• Cosmetic objectionable organisms

• Emerging microorganisms

AXPATH RAPID MICROBIOLOGY EVALUATION PROGRAM

Don't Start With a Major Purchase. Start With a Problem.

Before purchasing an instrument or implementing a new molecular method, laboratories should determine whether the technology provides practical advantages for their particular application.

Qualified organizations may begin with a focused evaluation using approximately 10–20 characterized samples, specimens or microbial isolates, depending upon the project.

AXPATH can help evaluate:

• Detection performance

• Agreement with the existing method

• Turnaround time

• Hands-on time

• Workflow requirements

• Reagent and consumable requirements

• Estimated cost per test

• Operator requirements

• Training requirements

• Potential applications
