The Intoxilyzer 9000
At Quality Forensic Toxicology, we provide advanced Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing for the rapid and accurate detection of viral and bacterial respiratory infections. Because respiratory illnesses often present with similar symptoms, precise identification is crucial for proper treatment and infection control. Our PCR testing offers fast, reliable, and highly sensitive pathogen detection, allowing for early diagnosis and improved patient outcomes.

Why Choose PCR Testing for Respiratory Infections?
- High Sensitivity & Specificity – Detects even low levels of viral or bacterial genetic material
- Fast Turnaround Time – Provides results quicker than traditional culture methods
- Simultaneous Pathogen Detection – Screens for multiple respiratory infections in a single test
- Supports Early Diagnosis & Treatment – Reduces complications and improves patient outcomes
How It Works
- Sample Collection – A simple nasal or throat swab is taken.
- DNA/RNA Extraction – Genetic material is isolated from the sample.
- PCR Amplification & Detection – The presence of pathogens is identified with precision.
- Results & Reporting – A detailed analysis is provided for accurate diagnosis.
At Quality Forensic Toxicology, we are committed to delivering precise, timely, and comprehensive infectious disease testing to support healthcare providers, researchers, and individuals in making informed medical decisions.
