GI360 Complete is an advanced, innovative, comprehensive and clinically-applicable stool profile, utilising multiplex PCR molecular technology, coupled with growth-based culture and ID by MALDI-TOF (>1200 bacteria; >200 yeasts can be identified), sensitive biochemical assays and microscopy to detect and assess the status of pathogens, viruses, parasites and bacteria that may be contributing to acute or chronic gastrointestinal symptoms and disease. GI360 Complete includes a broad range of stool chemistry markers to assess digestion/absorption, inflammation, immunology, short chain fatty acids and intestinal health markers including beta-glucuronidase.

The test is broken down into sections: Commensal bacteria and GI Pathogens measured by multiplex PCR. Gold standard microscopy of parasites, worms and yeasts.  Microscopy of red and white blood cells, muscle fibres, vegetable fibres, pollen and Charcot-Leyden Crystals. Culturing of commensal and pathogenic bacteria  Macroscopic assessment of stool colour, consistency and presence/ absence of mucus.  Elastase and Calprotectin - BÜHLMANN fCAL® & fPELA® turbo assays Lactoferrin, Lysozyme, sIgA - Elisa Carbohydrates – Colormetric Fat Stain – Sudan IV SCFA – Gas Chromatography Beta Glucuronidase - Quantitative endpoint enzymatic (RUO) Occult Blood – Guaiac Stool pH - ISE
