Both the GI360 and CSAP are excellent tests providing actionable information.  The GI360™, built on the CSAP, with an additional PCR platform. The GI360™ includes indexes of Abundance, Dysbiosis and Diversity, which are calculated from the results of the Microbiome Profile (PCR). The CSAP utilizes growth-based culture and ID by MALDI-TOF, PCR for specific pathogenic microbes, important stool chemistries, and microscopy to detect and assess the status of commensals, dysbiotic and pathogenic bacteria, yeast and parasites. The GI360™ built on the CSAP with addition of an additional PCR platform. Both the GI360™ and the CSAP include PCR analysis for a total of 14 pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites.
