Our Technology
Modern molecular diagnostics powered by automation and data. SDI Labs blends laboratory expertise with software engineering to deliver accurate results, faster—and give clinicians clear, actionable reports.
PCR Advantage vs Traditional Culture
Higher sensitivity & specificity • Hours, not days • Resistance markers
Molecular PCR
- Detects pathogens when levels are low—earlier in disease course
- Rapid results (often same day after receipt)
- Genetic markers for antimicrobial resistance (e.g., ESBL, mecA/C)
- Supports targeted, evidence-based treatment
Traditional Culture
- Manual organism growth; turnaround in days
- Dependent on sample viability and handling
- Limited insight into resistance mechanisms
- Higher risk of false negatives/positives
