MicroGen DX

Months of recurring UTIs. Culture after culture returning with nothing. Urgent care visits that went nowhere.

Tania's story is the reality for so many people dealing with chronic UTIs and other complex infections that standard testing can't identify. It's why we built a better test.

Our Next-Gen DNA Sequencing tests identifies pathogens by their DNA signatures, building a more complete picture of what's happening. 

Combine that with fast results, an easy-to-use report, and insight into drug resistance and you've got a modern testing experience.

If you've been dealing with a frustrating UTI, we can help.

Today is World Bronchiectasis Day.
Millions of people, including 500,000 Americans, live with a chronic lung disease that permanently damages airways, causes mucus buildup and inflammation. It progressively weakens respiratory health, making them more vulnerable to infections.

What makes it harder still: the pathogens driving infection are among the most difficult to identify.

Standard cultures miss complex bacteria and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, returning negative results while symptoms continue.

Bronchiectasis demands more than symptom management. It demands diagnostic precision.

MicroGenDX's RespiKEY test uses Next-Generation DNA Sequencing to identify over 60,000 pathogens — giving patients and their providers the clarity this condition deserves.

To close out Men's Health Month, we asked our team why men's health matters to them personally.
Some said it was about balance and energy.

And a few gave us pause:

Laith: "My dad passed away when I was 29. He did not get to meet my children. It is important to me to stay healthy to ensure I am around for my wife and kids and to get to experience my children raising their own family.”

Nick: "Because my mother died at 67 years old and I want to be around for my daughter and her family.”

A lot of men are confused on prostate health, and for good reason. Prostate cancer and prostatitis symptoms overlap enough that even doctors need testing to tell them apart.

Discomfort, urinary issues, sexual side effects.

In our latest blog, we break down the key differences between the two conditions, explain how each is diagnosed, and why getting the right answer affects your treatment.

If you've been navigating prostate or urinary symptoms and want to really understand the cause, this one's for you.

🧬 A score and a shortlist is not an answer. In periprosthetic joint infection, OrthoKEY pairs qPCR and NGS with ICM-aligned biomarkers in a single specimen.

✓ 60,000+ organism database, including polymicrobial and culture-negative infection
✓ Up to 17 AMR gene targets with every result
✓ qPCR and NGS results typically available within 24 to 48 hours from sample receipt

It's Men's Health Month, and we're spotlighting the up to 11% of men who live with chronic prostatitis or CPPS, facing urinary issues, sexual dysfunction, muscle tension, and real impacts to quality of life. A Cleveland Clinic study put numbers to what these men endure: how standard testing fails to provide answers.

Researchers tested 25 men using both regular prostate & urine cultures and MicroGenDX's NGS on the same samples. Cultures came back negative across the board. NGS detected a microbe in 70% of those negative cases.

Significantly, in men with symptoms of real infection, NGS caught a pathogen in half of samples that culture had missed entirely.

But detection isn't the whole answer. Some microbes don't have a clear link to CPPS, and not every man treated based on NGS findings saw symptoms resolved.

Yet, for many men told their tests are 'normal' while symptoms persist, NGS delivers a precise, data-driven starting point for them and their provider.

Don't settle for "everything looks normal."

Yesterday's storm left some fallen tree branches and debris blocking our main shipping entry here in Lubbock, TX—stopping our patient deliveries from getting through. The City of Lubbock and their crew responded quickly, clearing out the debris so we could receive and process today's patient samples.

A big thank you to the Lubbock, Texas - Your City Government for their fast response. It's a great reminder that what keeps us running is more than the science. It's also the community around us!
