A wealth of testing experience

Mayo Clinic BioPharma Diagnostics offers access to the clinical trial infectious disease testing capabilities of Mayo Clinic’s internationally renowned clinical microbiology laboratories. With more than 70 years of testing experience, our laboratories span all areas of conventional and molecular medical microbiology, offering a broad selection of tests designed for rapid identification and in-depth characterization of the bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic agents of infectious diseases.

Performing more than four million tests annually, our seven clinical microbiology laboratories have developed and implemented in vitro and culture techniques, immunoassays, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and molecular methods for rapid detection, identification, and characterization of microbial pathogens.

Our molecular testing methods include:

  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing
  • Advanced whole genome microbial sequencing
  • Targeted metagenomic sequencing
  • Matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry organism identification
