Sepsis Diagnostics

Whole blood samples

Application Study: VYOO vs. Gold Standard Blood Culture

The purpose of this study, performed during product development, was to determine whether a molecular diagnostic approach using VYOO could offer a faster, more sensitive solution for detection of bacterial and fungal infections and antibiotic resistance as compared to conventional ‘gold standard' blood culture techniques.
