Detection of all bacteria and fungi

Cognitor Minus, available from Pro-Lab Diagnostics, gives a confirmed negative result, direct from blood culture, the day following sample receipt by the laboratory, with a negative predictive value (NPV) of 99.5%.

Assisting clinicians with antibiotic stewardship, improved patient management and outcomes, and cost savings, Cognitor products utilise ETGA, a novel technology that delivers rapid results, universal detection of all bacteria and fungi, and detection of viable organisms only.
