Clinical Support Beyond the Report
You’re never on your own.
1. Practitioner Referral
Register with your clinical registration details so you can refer a test to your patient via our practitioner portal.
2. Patient Purchase & Collection
The patient purchases the test via the payment link and receives the test kit to their address. After collecting the sample, the patient ships it to our lab with a prepaid package.
3. Results & Report Delivery
Test results will be available as an interactive report in the practitioner portal within 14 days of sample receipt. You can share a patient-friendly version of the report via email.
4. Book Interpretation Support
Book a time with a Clinical Application Specialist for guidance if you require clinical support for a complex case, or you’re new to whole microbiome testing.
MetaXplore GI Plus features highly sensitive detection of 13 bacterial pathogen and 5 protist parasite targets, including:
Diagnostic gastrointestinal health markers include calprotectin, faecal occult blood, lactoferrin, pancreatic elastase, secretory IgA and zonulin. Faecal pH is provided as a result in the gastrointestinal health markers as an investigative gastrointestinal marker that may be indicative of gut transit time. The faeces pH assay used in the MetaXplore™ range is for research use only and not to be used as a basis for diagnosis.
MetaXplore includes up to 7 GI health markers and 14 functional microbiome markers spanning digestion, inflammation, motility, barrier integrity, and microbial diversity. These markers help identify root-cause dysfunctions—not just presence of microbes—so you can tailor diet, lifestyle, and supplement protocols with greater precision.
The report is designed for real-world clinical use. Insights are prioritised, explained in plain language, and supported with interpretation checklists and videos. You don’t need to change your workflow—just plug the report into your current clinical reasoning. Need help? Our Clinical Application Specialists offer 1:1 consults.
Absolutely. You can view the sample report anytime. To begin using MetaXplore, simply register as a practitioner. There’s no upfront commitment—just access to better tools for better care.
