MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS · PCR

Detect what culture misses — in hours, not days.

Comprehensive PCR from PromptCare Laboratories — up to 32 pathogens and eight antibiotic-resistance genes per panel, each returned with an interpretation & antimicrobial-guidance report in under 24 hours. Doctoral-level oversight, locally operated in Sandy, Utah.

Standard culture is failing your patients

Urine and wound cultures miss up to a third of infections — leaving patients on the wrong antibiotics and clinicians without data to act.
