The Rapid Microbial Identification (RMID) assay delivers comprehensive results with a single NGS test in as little as 24 hours

Currently, the process for microbial identification research in many laboratories involves a combination of culture, PCR, and either send-out or in-house sequencing-based testing – often involving multiple tests being performed sequentially. However, this process is time-consuming and resource-intensive.

The Ion AmpliSeq Rapid Microbial Identification (RMID) Research Panel is a targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay designed to address the limitations of other microbial testing approaches. By integrating a single, expansive test for both metagenomic and species-specific identification of bacteria, fungi, and mycobacteria, this panel simplifies the workflow and reduces the need for multiple, sequential tests. The automated RMID assay is designed to be user-friendly, reduces the need for extensive bioinformatics expertise, and delivers results in as little as 24 hours on the Ion Torrent Genexus System.
