Disease state
Gastrointestinal infections lead to approximately 500,000 hospitalizations per year and 179 million outpatient visits annually in the U.S. It is the cause of more than 5,000 deaths per year and has become the leading cause of death in children under 5 years of age globally. Additionally, hospital outbreaks can lead to severe illness in at-risk populations and hospital ward closures. Diarrhea can also have a major impact on society by disrupting daily life activities and leading to a high economic burden.
Gastrointestinal infections are a serious medical condition that can cause illness or death
The value of xTAG® Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (GPP)
Empower clinicians to accurately diagnose gastrointestinal infections in order to optimize patient therapy
Proven clinical impact
Get fast, comperhensive results within 5 hours. Detect and identify >90% of the causative bacterial, viral, and parasitic agents of gastroenteritis.
Outstanding economic value
One test provides answers for 14 pathogens. Eliminate the hassle of managing multiple samples and testing methods.
Workflow benefits
Minimize labor, reduce expenses, and improve overall laboratory and hospital efficiency by reducing hands-on time and overall turnaround time.
How the xTAG® Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (GPP) Test works
xTAG® Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (GPP) is a multiplexed nucleic acid test intended for the simultaneous qualitative detection and identification of multiple viral, parasitic, and bacterial nucleic acids in human stool specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of infectious colitis or gatroenteritis.
High complexity workflow
Sample pre-treatment is needed followed by nucleic acid extraction and purification, multiplex amplification, bead hybridization and detection, and data acquisition and analysis by MAGPIX® or Luminex® 200™ with xPONENT® software.
Time to results
In as little as five hours, laboratories can obtain results for >90% of pathogens in a quick, streamlined workflow that eliminates the complexity of managing multiple samples and test methods.
