Catalogue

Metagenomic analyses, by family

Each test sequences a different sample with the same technology. These are the 19 analyses in the catalogue, grouped as in clinical practice.

PATHOGENS

AMC · Clinical Metagenomic Analysis

Direct detection of infections without relying on culture.

AMC · NGS

AMC in Blood

Advanced clinical analysis using metagenomic nanopore sequencing to detect viral, bacterial and other microorganism infections present in venous blood

View details
AMC · NGS

AMC CRITICAL

Advanced clinical analysis to detect urgent infections in venous blood. It uses third-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques to comprehensively identify all microorganisms and resistance plasmids present.

AMC · NGS

AMC STI (SeXitest)

SeXitest is a clinical test to detect all types of sexually transmitted infections. STIs are caused by infections that spread mainly through sexual contact (vaginal, oral and anal) and through close personal contact.

AMC · NGS

AMC Cardiovascular

Specialized clinical analysis to detect potential cardiovascular infections using NGS technology. Direct identification of all pathogenic microorganisms present in blood samples to prevent serious consequences and enable early treatment.

View details
AMC · NGS

AMC Respiratory

Clinical analysis to detect potential infections in the respiratory system. Bacterial infections or those caused by other microorganisms have significant health implications and must be detected as soon as possible.

AMC · NGS

AMC Advanced Urological Study EUA

Specialized clinical analysis to detect urinary tract (urological tract) infections, including kidneys, ureters, bladder and prostate. Identifies all pathogenic microorganisms present in the sample.

View details
AMC · NGS

AMC CNS

Clinical analysis to detect potential infections in the central nervous system (CNS) capable of causing encephalitis, meningitis or meningoencephalitis. These infections can be lethal or cause significant sequelae.
