Intestinal flora analysis, also called microbiome analysis, is a technique used to study the microorganisms that live in our intestines. Our gut flora consists of an enormous amount of microorganisms, mainly bacteria, but also viruses, fungi and protozoa. Together, these microorganisms form our microbiome, which is an important part of our health and well-being. To carry out an intestinal flora analysis, you first need to collect a stool sample from the person to be examined. Then advanced laboratory techniques, such as DNA sequencing, are used to identify and quantify the various microorganisms present in the sample.
When the analysis is complete, you get a detailed report that shows which microorganisms are in the intestines, their relative amount and how they relate to each other. The analysis here can provide valuable information about one's general state of health and is available via mobile or computer.
We ensure the highest quality of our results by using our ISO-certified partner laboratory Carbiotix. Carbiotix is a listed company and has its lab in Lund with the very latest equipment. They send you the home test and perform analyzes on the sample with next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS), to identify and compare all known bacteria in the intestinal flora.
For our analyses, it is a matter of course to use a Swedish laboratory. This not only benefits the environment with shorter delivery distances, but also saves time for faster delivery of results to our customers.
