The Bottom Line

Matching the samples to the patient using DNA-based identity is a win-win for everyone.

For Doctors

By making sure samples being evaluated belong exclusively to the patient being diagnosed, physicians can arm themselves with the critical information they need to proceed confidently with treatment recommendations.

For Patients

As a patient, you can rest assured your medical results belong only to you. This will also eliminate devastating events associated with misdiagnoses such as unnecessary treatment for a healthy patient and/or delayed treatment.

The Problem: Test Results have a 1% error rate

This is due to:

  • Sample Mix-up
  • Floaters/tissue fragments from different patients on same slide
  • Transcript errors
  • Incorrect labeling
  • Lost Labels

The Danger

  • Possible misdiagnosis
  • Unnecessary treatment
  • Lack of treatment
  • Liability
