Understand the difference
Not all microbiome tests measure the same things. Discover what comprehensive microbiome mapping reveals that targeted testing can miss, and why it matters for patient care.
Seeking out specific species is like missing the forest for the trees
The links between any specific species and their effect on health is complicated and nuanced. Has your understanding of the microbiome kept up?
Outdated microbiome tests only show you the tip of the iceberg
Microba gives you everything below the waterline: every species, resolved precisely, and what each one does.

Microba gives you metagenomics done rigorously – from how your patient’s sample is preserved to how every species is classified.
