TEM-PCR™ Prospective Clinical Utility Study

Target Enriched Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (TEM-PCR™) is a breakthrough molecular multiplex technology that allows rapid DNA/RNA identification of multiple pathogens (i.e., bacteria and viruses) in a single sample, typically within one day of specimen receipt.

The SOC for upper respiratory infection may include, but is not limited to, rapid strep testing, rapid influenza testing, and sputum cultures. In the event a lower respiratory infection is suspected a chest x-ray or CBC with differential may be performed.
