Get the right diagnosis the first time
Patients with infectious illnesses often have signs and symptoms that are indicative of a disease, but that isn't specific enough to clinically distinguish what makes them ill. These patients are frequently given broad treatment, heavy monitoring and possibly unnecessary interventions. This puts a burden on healthcare systems, clinical labs and clinicians, and means patients aren't getting the best care possible.
We’re committed to helping healthcare workers like you navigate the challenges of diagnosing infectious diseases. That’s why we’ve developed an easy-to-use, automated diagnostic testing system that can help eliminate the guesswork and make your job easier. Our tests use multiplex PCR technology – also known as syndromic testing – that can quickly survey many different pathogens in a single patient sample. With syndromic testing, you get the answers you need, when you need them. And your patients get better care, faster.

Voices from the field – how medical professionals are using syndromic diagnostics
“It changed our perception, our prescription habits, and it will change the way we work in the future. In the end, we gain money for both the community and the patients. That is really a big step forward.”
Celestin Alexis Agbessi, M.D., Bichat-Claude Bernard Hospital, Paris
“It’s hugely beneficial to be able to test for that wide range of pathogens. Ruling out COVID is helpful, but so is the chance to correctly identify other illnesses so physicians can treat the patients and their symptoms appropriately.”
Michelle Volk, CEO and president of Great Lakes Labs, Indiana, USA
“Our value to our patients and to our provider community has increased by bringing the QIAstat-Dx in-house.”
Joshua Arant, Founder and Chief Operations Officer, Mako Medical
