• A molecular test that detects the genetic material of up to 15 different respiratory pathogens (viruses and/or bacteria) simultaneously.
• Designed to identify the specific cause or co-causes of respiratory infections.
• Involves amplifying specific nucleic acid sequences of the targeted pathogens in a single reaction.
• Typically requires a nasopharyngeal swab or other respiratory sample.
• Results indicate which of the 15 targeted pathogens were detected in the sample at the time of testing.
