Gastrointestinal
R-Biopharm Australia provides a comprehensive range of gastrointestinal diagnostic assays designed for the rapid, reliable detection of bacterial, parasitic, helminthic, and viral pathogens. Using advanced multiplex technology, our panels streamline the identification of complex infections by combining multiple targets into a single test, reducing time and sample handling. With IVD-compliant solutions optimised for high-throughput laboratories, we deliver accuracy, efficiency, and confidence, helping clinicians diagnose and manage gastrointestinal illness with greater speed and precision.
Gastrointestinal infections can be caused by a wide variety of bacterial, viral, parasitic and helminthic pathogens, making rapid and accurate diagnosis essential for effective patient management. R-Biopharm Australia’s multiplex PCR solutions enable clinical laboratories to detect multiple gastrointestinal pathogens from a single sample, reducing the need for multiple individual tests while improving laboratory efficiency and diagnostic confidence.
Designed for modern clinical workflows, our gastrointestinal diagnostic solutions provide reliable, high-quality molecular results with fast turnaround times. Supported by local technical expertise, our assays help laboratories streamline testing, support timely clinical decision-making and deliver accurate results when they matter most.
