GI-MAP White Paper
In the last few decades, DNA analysis has transformed the field of GI testing. More than ever before, we are keenly aware of the health benefits and disease risks brought about by the microorganisms that inhabit the GI tract.
The GI Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP) uses state-of-the-art qPCR technology to assess a patient’s microbiome from a single stool sample, with particular attention to microbes that cause disease or that disrupt normal microbial balance and contribute to perturbations in the GI microbiota and contribute to illness.
Read the GI-MAP White Paper and learn the science behind how DNA analysis can help your patients with gastrointestinal related symptoms.
