The GI360™ Profile is an innovative, comprehensive and clinically-applicable stool profile, utilizing multiplex PCR molecular technology coupled with growth-based culture and ID by MALDI-TOF, 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.
Microbiome Abundance and Diversity The GI360™ Profile is a gut microbiota DNA analysis tool that identifies and characterizes the abundance and diversity of more than 45 targeted analytes that peer-reviewed research has shown to contribute to dysbiosis and other chronic disease states.
The GI360™ can identify the presence of pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and parasites using multiplexed, real-time PCR. Viruses are the primary cause of acute diarrhea, and the least commonly tested. The identification of pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites improves treatment strategies and patient outcomes.
The Dysbiosis Index (DI) is a calculation with scores from 1 to 5 based on the overall bacterial abundance and profile within the patient's sample as compared to a reference population. Values above 2 indicate a microbiota profile that differs from the defined normobiotic reference population (i.e., dysbiosis). The higher the DI above 2, the more the sample is considered to deviate from normobiosis.

HOW TO COLLECT YOUR STOOL SAMPLE
Write the Patient’s Name, Date of Birth and the Date Collected on each Specimen Vial. Make sure to use the correct vials for each day of collection.
1. Put on glove and collect stool into the paper collection container supplied. If possible, void urine prior to collecting stool to avoid mixing it with the stool sample.
2. Remove the cap from the vial and using the attached spoon transfer stool specimen into the vial. Take multiple portions from different areas of the collection container.
3. Add enough stool until it reaches the fill line. DO NOT OVERFILL. Screw the cap on tightly.
4. BLACK and YELLOW vial only: Shake the vial vigorously for approximately 30 seconds to mix stool with preservative. WHITE vial does not contain preservative, and does not need to be shaken.
