MetaXplore™ GI Plus

$529 AUD

MetaXplore™ GI Plus can help you explore the impact your patients’ gut microbiome may be having on their health. MetaXplore™ GI Plus translates diagnostic gastrointestinal markers and targeted pathogen, protist and parasite panels1 alongside metagenomic-driven gut microbiome insights2 for over 28,000* microbial species and their function.

The MetaXplore™ range is intended for adults 18 years or older only.
The MetaXplore™ range is only available for purchase through a Healthcare Professional.
*Can report on over 28,000 species although a typical healthy sample will contain between 110 – 244 species.
