Contamination Source Identification


Contamination Source Identification operates a CLIA-certified laboratory that develops and runs an untargeted, RNA-focused next-generation sequencing diagnostic platform to identify active bacterial, viral, and eukaryotic pathogens directly from clinical specimens. The organization combines automated wet-lab processing, high-throughput sequencing, proprietary sample-preparation methods, and a rapid bioinformatics analysis and reporting pipeline to provide clinicians actionable results (including antimicrobial resistance information) with rapid turnaround times for applications such as neonatal sepsis and prosthetic joint infection.

Products

Untargeted RNA-based pathogen detection assay

An untargeted clinical assay that isolates and sequences microbial RNA from clinical specimens to identify active bacterial, viral, and eukaryotic pathogens and provide functional expression context.


Services

Clinical diagnostic testing using untargeted RNA-focused NGS

Clinical laboratory testing service that performs untargeted RNA-based NGS to detect active pathogenic microbes and report taxonomic identification and resistance markers to clinicians.

Bioinformatics analysis and reporting pipeline

Rapid analysis and clinical reporting service that processes sequencing data, performs taxonomic and resistance analyses, and delivers clinician-facing reports.
