PCR is considered the gold standard by many across the diagnostic community.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a DNA-based technology providing a valuable tool for detection of mold/fungi and bacteria.

PCR, or molecular technology, allows for faster detection and more accurate identification to the genus or species level.
