PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing allows for highly accurate and rapid detection of pathogens by identifying their genetic material. It offers faster turnaround times and higher sensitivity than traditional culture methods, which means earlier diagnosis, more targeted treatment, and better patient outcomes.
Healix Diagnostics goes beyond standard lab services by offering patient-specific antimicrobial sensitivity testing—unlike many labs that rely on generalized biograms. This personalized approach helps providers choose the most effective therapy for each individual, reducing guesswork and improving outcomes. Paired with rapid turnaround times and expert support, we’re your partner in precision microbiology.
A biogram (or antibiogram) is a summary of how various bacteria typically respond to antibiotics in a general population or region. While helpful, biograms offer a broad view and don't account for the specific resistance profile of an individual patient’s infection. That’s why we focus on patient-specific sensitivities for truly personalized care.
Final results are delivered within 36 hours of specimen receipt at our lab. Please note that additional time may be needed for courier pickup or shipping, depending on your location. Preliminary results are often available sooner when clinically necessary.
