A core component of Microba’s strategy is to leverage the Company’s world-leading technology and capability to advance the clinical application of microbiome testing to become embedded as a routine part of health and disease management. The MetaXplore™ test range through Co-Biome™ represents an important step forward in that strategy by breaking new ground in the application of microbiome testing in healthcare.
Microba’s Chief Scientific Officer, Assoc Prof. Lutz Krause said, “These new tests integrate traditional gastrointestinal pathology tools with Microba’s next generation microbiome testing technology and the latest global research to significantly advance the utility of microbiome testing in a healthcare setting. This test range is expected to significantly expand the total addressable market for Microba’s testing products.”
