Critical Care / Infections

iGenetic uses advanced molecular diagnostics methods for accurate and early detection of over 100 pathogens across bacteria, viruses and fungi as well as antibiotic resistance. Most of our panels are reported within 24 hours from sample collection from anywhere in India, and positive blood culture is not required. All kinds of samples are accepted whole blood, CSF, biopsy, sputum, BAL, synovial fluid, and others

The panels cover conditions ranging from septicemia, CNS infection, febrile neutropenia, upper and lower respiratory infections, osteomylitis, endocarditis, opthalmic infections and others. Single PCR, quantification, speciation and genotyping also offered

• Coverage of more than 100 pathogens
• Detects fungi, viruses, parasites and bacteria in a single test
• Antibiotic resistance panels cover more than 35 resistance causing genetic markers
• 2500+ patients tested
• Accredited by NABL and CAP proficiency testing
• Processing time of only 7 hours
• High detection rates; 100% specificity and high sensitivity

Septiscreen Panel – Early detection of Sepsis can be life saving. The iGenetic Septiscreen panel covers a comprehensive list of gram positive and gram negative bacteria as well as the most common fungi for an accurate detection of sepsis and the causant pathogen. The processing time is 7 hours once the sample is received in Mumbai.

iGenetic also offers a Septicemia panel which combines the Septiscreen molecular detection with microbiology culture and MIC, along with biochemistry parameters to provide a holistic evaluation of the infection.

Antibiotic Resistance Panel – iGenetic Antibiotic Resistance panels cover more than 35 resistance causing genes and can be customised based on the type of infection. The processing time is 6 hours and same day reporting is possible when combined with other molecular infection detection panels.

Central Nervous System infection panels – The iGenetic CNS infection panels include 40+ pathogens including

• 18 viruses such as Chandipura, Nipah, JEV, EBV
• Gram positive and gram negative bacteria
• Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex (MTC) and Non Tuberculosis Mycobacteria (NTM)
• Fungi
• Parasites

iGenetic’s CNS detection rates are significantly higher than conventional detection rates (iGenetic detection rates exceed 50% vis-a-vis conventional detection rates of less than 20%). Our superior detection rates are a powerful tool for clinicians treating patients with critical CNS infections who need a definitive answer rapidly. Please see iGenetic data presented at International Child Neurology Congress 2018

Febrile Neutropenia/Post transplant panel –iGenetic has a specialized panel designed to detect transplant related infections, especially for solid organ and bone marrow transplants. The panel includes pathogens such as Burkholderia cepacia, Pneumocystis carinii and several others which are hard to diagnose. Please see iGenetic data presented at Pediatric Hemato Oncology Congress 2018

Community Acquired Pneumonia Panel – Syndromic evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment of Pneumonia cases due to the high incidence of polymicrobial infections. iGenetic’s Community Acquired Pneumonia panel includes the most common pathogens known for causing Pneumonia. These include both upper as well as lower respiratory tract infections.

TB Detection Panels – iGenetic TB Certify include pathbreaking technology that can differentiate between dead, dormant and active infections. Various kinds of focal samples are accepted for this test. Our TB panels include detection of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex (MTC) as well as Non Tuberculosis Mycobacteria (NTM). NTM detection also provides detection of aggressive species such as M.chelonae and M. fortuitum

Other Panels

• Osteomylitis
• Infective endocarditis
• Fungi speciation
• Fever of unknown origin
• TORCH
• Atypical Pnemonia
