Big Ortho hands you an infection-probability score.

OrthoKEY NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) + qPCR names the organisms and their resistance genes it finds.

• Infected? Big Ortho returns a probability score from 11 biomarkers. Its alpha-defensin marker performs on par with synovial WBC + PMN% (Ivy et al., 2021), the same markers OrthoKEY already reports (ICM-aligned CRP, WBC, PMN%).

• Organism? OrthoKEY delivers species-level identification by qPCR and NGS, versus a fixed antigen shortlist of 4 groups.

• Resistance? OrthoKEY reports up to 17 AMR gene targets, versus susceptibility from culture held 7 to 14 days.

• ~$400 per test.

• qPCR and NGS results typically available within 24 to 48 hours from sample receipt.

Give your toughest infections the best chance at an answer.

Culture-negative does not always mean infection-negative.

In periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs), synovial fluid culture can come back negative while infection is still present, leaving the organism and its resistance unknown.

OrthoKEY uses qPCR and next-generation sequencing with ICM-aligned biomarkers (CRP, WBC, PMN%) to detect polymicrobial and culture-negative PJI, with species-level identification and up to 17 AMR gene targets. qPCR and NGS results are available within as little as 24 to 48 hours from sample receipt.

Grounded in a 2,011-specimen synovial fluid NGS study (Tipton et al., Frontiers in Microbiology, 2026).

Nails not looking right?
Creams and prescriptions not helping?

Sandal season is here, it's time to get real answers.
Nail infection are very common and often undertreated.

Because treatment without diagnosis is a guessing game.
Our NailKEY test identifies the specific DNA of the bacterial or fungal cause of your infection with 99.2% accuracy, and antimicrobial resistance markers that help your provider find what works.

Clip. Ship. Get results as soon as next day after receipt.

Sound familiar? A chronic infection. Repeatedly misdiagnosed.

Steve had been dealing with an infection whose cause was missed again and again, until he learned about MensKEY testing.

With MensKEY's broad detective power, he finally got clear, detailed results that impressed his healthcare provider.

DNA-level testing identifies the microbial cause with species-level precision, enabling treatment.
If you've been told nothing is wrong but something clearly is, there's a better data-driven way to find out.

Men, when was the last time you checked in on your health?
Well, June is here and so is Men's Health Month 💙

It's a time dedicated to the health issues that affect men's well-being the most, including those they're least likely to talk about.

In fact, nearly 40% of men only visit a doctor when they believe something is seriously wrong.

Our team spends every day working on the diagnostic side of that problem, helping men get answers that standard testing misses.

We'll be sharing stories and science on men's health worth knowing.

Follow us to learn more about men’s health!

Last Saturday, MicroGenDX's Lubbock team ran for the I Am Enough 5K, supporting women's well-being, health, and community.

Women's health matters to our people, both in the lab and beyond it.

Events like these remind us that community and validation are just as vital to women's health as the answers we work to deliver each day.

Thank you to everyone who showed up 💙
