Health 360 Labs offers patients the most comprehensive diagnostic pathogen tests and identification of antibiotic resistance genes on the market. Health 360 Labs utilizes the most advanced, CDC- recommended technology to produce the most comprehensive reporting within 24 hours. This technology provides genetic identification of each pathogen with an un-equalled accuracy rate of 99.8%. Along with the ability to test for infectious disease, Health 360 Labs will educate your personnel in collection procedures and provide you with the tools necessary to act quickly should you encounter a septic patient.

Additionally, Health 360 Labs is the only service that offers safeguards to protect your personnel and patients from risk of contamination during testing. Health 360 Labs provides molecular testing that optimizes the use of quantitative Real-Time PCR technology.Real-Time PCR provides rapid and highly accurate laboratory testing to quickly diagnose an array of infectious disease pathogens.

Health 360 Labs pathogen detection panels provide comprehensive and targeted pathogen tests for the following most-required tests, among others: Respiratory, UTI, STI, Wound, and Gastrointestinal. In addition, Health 360 Labs testing solution provides you with precise antibiotic resistance reporting to help you better understand identified infections. PCR-based testing has been shown to reduce cost, time, and other resources that patients and clinicians often are burdened with when sepsis is suspected.

Wound Care

Our wound panels can enhance specialists’ treatment plans and improve their patient outcomes. Studies have shown that this is because chronic wounds, wounds that fail to progress through normal healing trajectory, are a large and growing problem in the healthcare industry. The total cost of chronic wounds is difficult to measure but is increasing as the impact is resulting in the loss of limbs and lives – this is becoming far too common in patients.

Our molecular testing can reveal a greater number of bacterial species in chronic wounds as opposed to what culture results demonstrate. Wound care specialists have used molecular microbial diagnostic information to develop personalized medicine methods in wound care.

Culture vs Real Time PCR

The traditional culture method is all about growing what’s there and observing phenotypic characters like shape, size, staining property, reactions in biochemical tests, etc. It usually means a long process of trial and error, ruling out species after species until you have only one option left using observable characteristics. The major advantage of Real-Time PCR over traditional culture method is the ability to obtain accurate results promptly.
