Molecular Diagnostic Services
XCyton has developed DNA Macro Chips for simultaneous identification of all pathogens causing any particular syndrome.
These DNA Macro Chips are called XCyto Screens and can identify Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi and Parasites together. The sensitivity of this test is very high to pick up to five to ten bacteria, a few viral particles and a few fungal or parasitic cells.
Xcyton has also developed nucleic acid amplification tests for identification of individual pathogens called NAAT CheX.
The technology
Our technology permits laboratory procedures to be completed in as less as six hours time. Essentially this permits the sample to be drawn from a patient at the time of admission in to the hospital and a definitive diagnosis can be arrived at within 8-12 hours of admission. As these tests allow for simultaneous investigation of all probable organisms causing the disease, it eliminates the necessity for multiple, sequential tests for individual organisms.
XCyto Screen
XCyto Screen (for Syndrome based Diagnostics) is a service provided by XCyton for simultaneous detection of all the causative agents in a single sample.
Turnaround time - 24 hours from the receipt of sample
