profiles, rather than relying on limited culture results.
Aperiomics
Aperiomics specializes in broad-spectrum pathogen detection
through metagenomic sequencing, a revolutionary approach
that scans for bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites
simultaneously4without needing to know what you're looking for
in advance.
Traditional diagnostic methods typically require a doctor to
suspect a specific pathogen before ordering a targeted test.
Aperiomics removes this limitation by analyzing all DNA in a
sample, identifying rare, emerging, or unexpected organisms that
may be driving chronic or mysterious illnesses. This makes their
technology especially useful for patients with undiagnosed
infections, inflammatory conditions, or complex multisystem
diseases.
What sets Aperiomics apart is its
