The GeneSYS Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP) simultaneously detects and identifies multiple respiratory virus DNA in nasopharyngeal swabs from individuals suspected of respiratory tract infections.
Advantages of Genesys RVP
Respiratory viruses are responsible for a wide range of acute respiratory tract infections including the common cold, influenza and croup and represent the most common cause of acute illness in the U.S. Disease severity can be especially high in the young, the immunocompromised and elderly patients. Diagnosis of respiratory infection by clinical symptoms alone is extremely difficult and often inaccurate due to non-specific symptoms.
Integrated multiplex PCR and bead hybridization detection offers a highly sensitive and specific method of respiratory pathogen detection. In addition, another benefit is the ability to obtain the results in hours with the detection of co-infections. Evidence suggests patients with co-infections have an increased disease severity and more complex clinical management.
Results Interpretation:
The detection of 19 respiratory viral targets and 3 bacterial targets is simultaneous in each sample with an integrated multiplex PCR and bead hybridization platform. Our easy to read report available electronically, based upon the presence (Positive) or absence (Negative) of the viruses or bacteria within the panel will allow our clients to rapidly choose a treatment option. Co-infections occur approximately 20-30% of the time, therefore, there may be more than one virus detected and reported.
Panels help identify co-infection and more at risk patients.
Co-infections occur 20%-30% of the time and more than one Virus is detected and reported. Detection of the 19 viral and 3 bacterial targets occurs simultaneously.
On average 24,000 deaths each year are attributed to influenza in the U.S.
In children, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of severe lower respiratory tract infection worldwide.
Timely detection of these viruses can lead to initiation of proper antiviral treatment, decreased use of unnecessary antibiotics, reduced transmission of disease from person to person and better clinical outcomes.

GDI’s Gastrointestinal Panel simultaneously tests for common gastrointestinal pathogens including viruses, bacteria and parasites that cause infectious diarrhea.
Integrated multiplex PCR and bead array technology detection offers a highly sensitive and specific method of gastrointestinal pathogen detection. In addition, another benefit is the ability to obtain the results in hours with the detection of co-infections.
Advantages of Genesys GIP
Results Interpretation:
The detection of 14-22 gastrointestinal targets are simultaneous in each sample with an integrated multiplex PCR and bead hybridization platform. Our easy to read report available electronically, based upon the presence (Detected) or absence (Not Detected) of the viruses, bacteria, or parasites within the panel will allow our clients to rapidly choose a treatment option.
