Real-time polymerase chain reaction

qPCR — CORE-ABR molecular panel

Laboratory-developed method

Developed and validated in house by Clinicore. Reviewed and approved by the Medical Director before use in patient testing.

Results from a laboratory-developed method are method-specific and are not directly comparable with another laboratory’s. That is the point of it — where a cleared assay answers the question adequately, Clinicore uses one.

How it works

Organisms are detected and quantified; resistance genes are reported qualitatively as detected or not detected. Reports are generated by CORE-ABR, which applies organism-aware antibiotic ranking incorporating intrinsic biology, detected resistance genes, and site-specific rules.
