Details

The PediatricBiome Profile is a comprehensive stool analysis designed for infant and toddler populations between the age of 3-17 years old. By combining PCR and metagenomic (shotgun) sequencing technologies, it provides a broad view of overall gut health, paired with commentary that is catered to their age range.
