Fungal Pathogen PCR Panel

Precision Diagnostics for Dermatology & Podiatry

Rapid Molecular Detection for Nail, Skin, and Chronic Foot Infections

Elevating the Diagnosis of Fungal Skin & Nail Infections

Superficial fungal infections are among the most common conditions encountered in dermatology and podiatry—but they are also frequently:

  • Misdiagnosed
  • Recurrent
  • Polymicrobial
  • Resistant to therapy

Traditional diagnostics such as:

  • KOH prep
  • Microscopy
  • Fungal culture

often suffer from:

  • Low sensitivity
  • Long turnaround times
  • Inability to detect mixed infections

Our Fungal Pathogen PCR Panel delivers rapid, highly sensitive molecular detection of dermatophytes, yeasts, molds, bacterial co-pathogens, and antimicrobial resistance markers—supporting faster diagnosis and targeted treatment selection.
