Say Goodbye to Outdated Fungal Diagnosis
Traditional diagnostic methods for toenail fungus are notably outdated and inefficient. Technicians typically visually inspect nail samples before growing a fungal culture in a petri dish, processes that not only take 2-3 weeks but also can result in misdiagnosis. These methods struggle to keep pace with the need for timely and accurate identification of fungal infections.
Fungus can be tricky to diagnose
Although these images might easily be mistaken for toenail fungus, each one illustrates a different, non-fungal condition — highlighting the need for quick, precise diagnosis.
ToeFX PCR Test for Toenail Fungus Identification
The ToeFX PCR Test has revolutionized fungal diagnostics with a rapid, accurate testing method that clearly differentiates fungal pathogens from other conditions that mimic infections. This swift and precise approach ensures patients receive appropriate treatment quickly, avoiding the pitfalls of traditional diagnostics and reducing the risk of ineffective treatments.
Simple, Accurate and Fast
95% Accuracy
Detect the presence of toenail fungus with 95% accuracy using our Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology, which pinpoints fungal DNA for precise diagnosis.
Test in 2 Minutes
Collect a nail clipping or nail dust, place it in the provided sample envelope, and complete the test in under two minutes
Results in 4-5 days
No more weeks of waiting or uncertainty. Within 4-5 days of receiving your sample, you will receive a complete report with details of all pathogens found.
How ToeFX PCR Testing Works
ToeFX uses advanced quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology to provide a precise diagnosis.
Here’s how it works:
Accurate Detection
qPCR identifies the specific strain of fungus by analyzing the DNA/RNA makeup, ensuring precise results.
Analyses Fungal Load
This method measures the amount of fungus present, which helps determine the optimal dosage and duration of treatments.
Enhanced Treatment Monitoring
By quantifying fungal cells, qPCR allows for better monitoring of treatment effectiveness over time.
Comprehensive Pathogen Detection
ToeFX detects them all
Get Clarity with a Detailed Test Report
Each ToeFX test culminates in a comprehensive PCR Testing Report, delivered directly to you via PDF. This detailed document provides a clear breakdown of the pathogens detected and their concentrations. Armed with this information, you can make informed decisions about treatment options for your patients.
