Normal metabolism of methionine is critical for cellular methylation of DNA, proteins and neurotransmitters. Aberrant methionine metabolism can occur in anyone at any age and can be associated with numerous health consequences including cardiovascular disease and cancer. The Methylation Profile provides a functional assessment of the phenotypic expression of common SNPs (MTHFR, MS, CBS) by…
read moreThe OMX ™ Organic Metabolomics test from Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory evaluates urine metabolites—including organic acids, amino acids, and other key compounds—to assist practitioners in unravelling their patient’s metabolic pathways, revealing their unique Metabolic Signature. Using a systems-biology approach, OMX assesses biomarkers that go beyond the traditional lists of metabolites. This test enables practitioners to see a patient’s…

read moreThe Methylation Panel offers insight into the biochemical methylation pathway. Methylation metabolites are measured using plasma and whole blood. Methylation is important for detoxification, mood, cardiovascular health, and energy production. Sample report:
read moreA comprehensive profile of 38 toxic elements measure in urine. Suitable for screening for acute exposures and to assess chronic environmental exposures. Results are reported corrected for creatinine allowing for the urine concentration (a 6-hour urine collection is recommended as a representative sample). Sample report:

read moreIndications: The Pathogens Panel measures pathogenic organisms that are known to cause hospital-acquired infections (HAI) (such as C. difficile or norovirus), foodborne illnesses (such as E. coli or Salmonella), and common causes of diarrhoea (such as Campylobacter, Shigella, and rotavirus A). This panel measures viral causes of gastroenteritis unavailable by other common stool tests, as well as parasites such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and Entamoeba histolytica. Helicobacter pylori and its virulence…
