Bacterial Detection By 16S NGS

Description

Bacterial detection by 16S Next Generation Sequencing is only available as a reflexive test from Bacterial DNA Detection by PCR (BCTDNA) when there is evidence of multiple bacterial templates present.

Results in 10 business days after reflex from Bacterial DNA Detection by PCR (BCTDNA).
