Explify Respiratory is an ARUP metagenomic sequencing service detecting over 200 bacterial, fungal, and viral respiratory pathogens.
Explify Respiratory is a metagenomic next-generation sequencing service offered by ARUP Laboratories with IDbyDNA for diagnosing respiratory infections. The service detects more than 200 bacterial, fungal, and viral respiratory pathogens from patient specimens and returns curated pathogen reports for clinical interpretation.
Designed for complex pneumonia workups where Karius Focus BAL is ordered, it offers broad unbiased detection including organisms missed by targeted panels. Sequencing-based respiratory profiling supports earlier diagnosis and targeted therapy in hospitalized patients with suspected pneumonia.
