MetaXplore™ GI Plus can help you explore the impact your patients’ gut microbiome may be having on their health. MetaXplore™ GI Plus translates diagnostic gastrointestinal markers and targeted pathogen, protist and parasite panels1 alongside metagenomic-driven gut microbiome insights2 for over 28,000* microbial species and their function.
METAXPLORE™ IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE THROUGH A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.
*Can report on over 28,000 species although a typical healthy sample will contain between 110 – 244 species.
