tNGS, also referred to as targeted next-generation sequencing , is an advanced sequencing technology that utilizes targeted capture. This approach involves enriching the genome of specific pathogenic microbes through multiplex PCR before sequencing. Subsequently, high throughput sequencing is performed, and the obtained data are compared with a reference database to determine the presence of pathogenic microbial species within the sample. Due to its practicality and efficiency, tNGS is increasingly used in clinical diagnostics.
Comprehensive :Covers common respiratory tract infection pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, DNA/RNA viruses, mycobacteria tuberoulosis, special pathogens, and antimicrobial resistance genes. And DNA + RNA can be detected at the same time in one process.
Fast :Self-propelled sequencing platform ensures the ultimate delivery, and the whole process from receiving qualified samples to issuing report takes 8 hours.
Convenient :It is suitable for a variety of sample types such as bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, sputum, or throat swabs.
Economical and reliable :Only the specific amplified fragment needs to be detected, reducing the time and cost of assays, while improving the stability and reproducibility of data processing results.
