Companion diagnostics
Routine molecular diagnostic laboratories can benefit from using GA’s products by choosing one of two options:
- Use of GA map® reagent kit: The routine diagnostic laboratory can implement the GA-map® Technology platform and established the GA-map® Test. Fecal samples are locally collected and analyzed by the laboratory. GA will continuously provide CE-marked and validated reagents kit.
- Use of GA service laboratory: Fecal samples are locally collected, assembled by the routine diagnostic laboratory, and regularly send batchwise for analysis and reporting to Genetic Analysis service laboratory, Oslo Norway. Encrypted reports are sent back to the routine diagnostic laboratory.
The two products GA provides are The GA-map® Dysbiosis Test and the GA-map® COVID-19 Fecal Test. The two tests can be set up in any PCR laboratory and GA provides reagent kit for own use or we do the analysis and reporting of the result at our service laboratory. With more than 10 years of experience in gut microbiota analysis, we provide you with a reproducible, standardized and well-documented, CE-marked service to support your drug development projects, to assess gastrointestinal treatment effect on gut microbiota and measurement of gut microbiota variation in clinical settings.
