SPEC Family Tests

Next-generation microbiology

Purpose-built molecular panels that pair PCR pathogen ID with culture and RapidAST™ susceptibility.

RespiSPEC logo

Detects respiratory and bacterial pathogens from a single anterior nares or throat specimen. We offer a broad menu of targets based on insurance coverage, medical necessity, and LCD/NCDs.

ENTSpec logo

For persistent sinusitis, otitis, and pharyngitis — resolves the bacterial or fungal cause when empiric antibiotics keep failing. Every ENTSpec includes RapidAST™ phenotypic susceptibility.

Gram Stain + PCR + Culture + RapidAST™
UTISpec logo

Sorts true uropathogens from contamination in recurrent and complicated UTIs — including polymicrobial and resistant organisms culture alone can miss. Every UTISpec includes RapidAST™ phenotypic susceptibility.

Gram Stain + PCR + Culture + RapidAST™
WoundSPEC logo

Maps the full flora of chronic, diabetic, and non-healing wounds — including resistance markers — to guide targeted therapy and debridement. Every WoundSPEC includes RapidAST™ phenotypic susceptibility.

Gram Stain + PCR + Culture + RapidAST™
NailSPEC logo

Molecular detection of dermatophytes and yeasts in nail specimens for accurate antifungal decisions.

Dermatophytes + yeast
PATHSpec logo

Anatomic and surgical pathology services — specimen processing, histology, and diagnostic interpretation.

Pathology services
RapidAST logo

Real-world antibiotic susceptibility testing — actual growth-based results, not generalized guidance. Included with every UTISpec, ENTSpec, and WoundSPEC panel, on every patient.

Why It's Different

A 4-in-1 approach to infection

Traditional testing gives you one view. We combine four — for identification, viability, and treatment guidance based on actual results.

01
Gram Stain

Rapid morphology and initial pathogen classification.

02
Molecular PCR

Precise pathogen identification, including targets culture can miss.

03
Culture

Growth identification, organism viability and quantitation.

04
RapidAST™

Real-world antibiotic susceptibility — actual results, not generalized guidance.
