Traditional diagnosis for onychomycosis includes a microscopy and culture testing. Results can take up to two weeks. With Sinai Labs there’s no need to wait. You’ll get fast and 99% accurate results for bacteria and fungus — within 24-48 hours of sample receipt.

We are experts in molecular diagnostic testing, a laboratory science that unites the precision of molecular biology with laboratory testing. Our focus is guided by PCR technology, which amplifies DNA found in small testing samples to ensure a sample is robust enough to drive testing accuracy.

PCR-based testing has been shown to increase sensitivity, specificity, and speed. A recent Journal of Medical Microbiology study found “PCR increased species-specific detection of dermatophytes by 21.1%, leading to a threefold increase as compared to culture alone.”.
