Provide your patients the fastest and most accurate UTI diagnosis possible. Atria Mobile PCR Urine Testing is A Critical Diagnostic Tool for Homebound Urinary Tract Infections.
Quickly assess and manage your patients UTIs from the comfort of their home. PCR urine testing offers a much higher sensitivity detection of slow growing infectious bacteria compared to a traditional urine culture.
PCR urinary tract infection testing also has a considerably shorter turnaround time; typically results are available in 24-48 hours, whereas a traditional urine culture can take up to 5-7 days to yield results.
Additionally, PCR reports for drug resistance markers and antibiotic sensitivity are highly informative for diagnosis based treatment guidance for your physicians and care staff.

Mobile Pick-Up and Lab Delivery
Urinary Tract Infections, or UTIs are a common bacterial or fungal infection, driving over 15 million office and emergency room visits annually in the United States. Senior living facility residents are especially at risk because UTIs disproportionately affect women and older adults. These infections can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Unfortunately, UTIs often occur and worsen because of neglectful care.
Why Choose PCR over Traditional Culture & Sensitivity
Conventional urine culture methods present several drawbacks, including prolonged processing times, limited sensitivity, and the possibility to overlook a substantial number of positive cases. Delayed UTI diagnosis can lead to kidney infections, sepsis, and other complications. Culture specimens are also time sensitive and must be delivered to a lab within 24 hours or risk rejection.
PCR testing Identifies pathogens difficult to grow in standard cultures, identifying bacteria in the urine samples of 36% of patients who had a negative urine culture. PCR urine testing offers a much faster result time while using a smaller sample amount which can be a huge benefit with geriatric and incontinent patients. Specimens are also easier to store and transport which can be a major concern for homebound services.
What exactly is PCR Testing?
Pathogen Detection by Polymerase Chain Reaction (UTI by PCR) is a diagnostic method that uses molecular biology to amplify and identify the presence of bacterial DNA in urine. offering precise identification in a much shorter time compared to traditional testing methods.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a molecular biology technique designed to amplify specific segments of DNA. For those inquiring about urine PCR, this DNA amplification ascertains the bacterial DNA presence in urine samples, even in minute quantities.
