ARUP Laboratories/IDbyDNA Explify Respiratory

ARUP Laboratories and IDbyDNA have launched Explify Respiratory, a next-generation sequencing-based test for respiratory infections. Explify Respiratory detects more than 200 common and rare bacterial, fungal, and viral respiratory pathogens with a single test. It is powered by IDbyDNA's Taxonomer software, a DNA search engine that can rapidly identify any organism by its genetic material. The test is the first in a line of tests that ARUP Labs and IDbyDNA plan to launch as part of a previously announced strategic partnership to develop and commercialize infectious disease testing using metagenomics.
