How Does It Work?
The Floré Gastrointestinal Pathogen Test (GPT) is a qualitative multiplex test that can simultaneously detect and identify multiple bacterial, viral, and parasitic gastrointestinal pathogens from individuals with signs and symptoms of infectious colitis or gastroenteritis. The Floré GPT detects the gastrointestinal pathogen types, subtypes and toxin genes described in the table. It includes a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with xTAG universal tag sorting system and a subsequent bead hybridization utilizing the xMAP Technology platform. This is an efficient technology that enables the analyzer to capture and detect specific analytes of all target pathogens from the single sample provided.
