THE CLINICAL CHALLENGE
A wider search
when time matters.
Sepsis is the body's extreme response to infection and can progress to shock, organ failure or death. HaystackAnalytics' original site frames faster pathogen identification as a way to support earlier clinical decisions.
Universal ID is a culture-free, NGS-based test for bacteria and fungi. In one screening test, it profiles more than 1,200 pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes, with a reported turnaround under 12 hours and under four hours of hands-on time.
The historic disease and performance figures below are reproduced from HaystackAnalytics' existing website; they are not presented as current epidemiology or independent validation.
WHY THE ORIGINAL SITE FOCUSES ON SEPSIS
An urgent clinical
problem.
11Msepsis deaths cited on the original site
2B+people in listed higher-risk groups
1,200+bacterial and fungal pathogens screened
The original page lists cancer (18.5 million), diabetes (422 million), hypertension (over 1.5 billion), and immune compromise (140 million) as pre-existing conditions associated with higher sepsis risk.
TEST COMPARISON
See the scope
side by side.
| Measure | Universal ID | Molecular panel | Culture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turnaround | ≤12 hours | 12–24 hours on the home comparison | 2–10 days on the home comparison |
| Pathogen range | Not limited by probes; 1,200+ bacteria and fungi | Probe based; up to 43 pathogens on the home comparison | Limited by culturability |
| Antimicrobial resistance | High, genotypic ARG profile | Low, genotypic; 1–5 antibiotics on the home comparison | Low, phenotypic; selected panel |
| Sensitivity | 84–88% | Low, as stated on the product page | 15–20% |
| Specificity | 99% | High | High |
| Site of testing | On site | Centralised | On site |
| Manpower | Zero upskilling stated | Zero upskilling stated | Zero upskilling stated |
| Ease / cost of use | Low | High | Low |
