In the rapidly evolving world of microbiome testing, clinicians are frequently faced with bold claims about emerging technologies. While it's tempting to view newer methods like shotgun sequencing as the âbest stool test,â the reality is more nuanced. If you're searching for the most reliable way to assess gut health, the key question is: which combination of methodologies gives you both accuracy and clinical relevance? At Genova Diagnostics, we understand there isn't a single methodology currently available that captures the complete picture of gut health. That's why we combined the strengths of multiple advanced technologies for the most relevant insights possible.

Historically, the three-day collection process was designed to maximize parasite detection, especially for parasites with intermittent shedding patterns. While effective, it could be cumbersome for patients and sometimes lead to incomplete or incorrect collections. The impact of choosing the right collection timeframe is important, as patients are 28% more likely to complete a 1-day collection compared to a 3-day. And when it comes to clinical decision-making, having actionable data from a completed test is far better than having no results at all.
