Test Overview & Methodology
The Respiratory Panel 7 test is a comprehensive multiplex PCR assay for the simultaneous detection of seven common respiratory pathogens from upper and lower respiratory specimens. The panel covers Influenza A/B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Adenovirus, Parainfluenza virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydia pneumoniae. Results are confirmed by whole genome sequencing to ensure the highest accuracy.
| Feature | Our Test: Respiratory Panel 7 | Closest Alternative: Routine Culture |
|---|---|---|
| Pathogen Coverage | 7 high-priority respiratory pathogens (viral & bacterial) including difficult-to-culture agents | Culturable bacteria only; viruses missed; sensitivity drops for fastidious organisms |
| Methodology | Multiplex Real-Time PCR (qPCR) + Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) confirmation | Conventional culture & manual identification (72‑96 hrs) |
| Turnaround Time | 48‑72 hours post receipt (reports Tue/Thu/Sat) | 3‑5 days, often longer for fastidious pathogens |
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | 99.9% (molecular detection with genomic validation) | 70‑80% (limited by viability & growth requirements) |
