SGT (Stool Genomic Test) analyzes the genetic material of bacteria in stool samples using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. This approach provides a comprehensive overview of the composition, diversity, and relative abundance of different bacterial genera within the intestinal tract. The 16S rRNA sequencing used herein is an internationally recognized taxonomic profiling method, primarily aimed at mapping the global composition, diversity, and proportions of known bacterial groups.
How to take the sample?
The sample is analysed to accurately map the gut flora and plan a targeted, personalised diet and lifestyle change. However, proper sampling is essential. Here’s what to look out for to make sure you get a quality sample, so as not to have to repeat it.
