Single sample qPCR Stool test acutely sensitive to parasites, bacteria and fungi as it targets the specific DNA of the organisms tested, so assessment can also be made of how much of an organism's DNA is present.
Analytes: Bacterial flora, h.pylori (plus virulence factors) viruses, yeasts, protozoa (parasites/worms), intestinal health (elastase, steatocrit, SigA, beta glucuronidase, occult blood and calprotectin) plus antibiotic resistance.

Clostridia species have been removed from the normal bacteria flora and replaced with Roseburia species to offer a more comprehensive analysis of butyrate producing species.
Desulfovibrio species have been added- this is fabulous as it is a sulphate reducing bacteria that associates highly with hydrogen sulphide production.
Enterobacter and Escherichia species have been moved into a new section that now includes Fucobaterium and Prevotella called Commensal inflammatory and Auto-immune related bacteria
Eosinophil Activation Protein is also on the new report in the Intestinal Health Immune Response section!
Finally, the layout has also changed so we now have a sliding scale style report! and some reference ranges have also changed (see sample reports)
DSL was founded to bridge the gap between healthcare providers and the clinical laboratory. DSL build assays with proven methodologies that are accurate, reliable, clinically relevant and provide actionable results. The GI-MAP (GI-Microbial Assay Plus) stool test utilises cutting edge, Quantitative PCR technology to provide a true DNA/PCR based stool analysis, which provides actionable information to the clinician regarding the microbiota and how it relates to many inflammatory, autoimmune, metabolic and cardiovascular conditions, and other chronic diseases.
