Rapid Molecular Diagnostics for Assisted Living & Long-Term Care

Residents in assisted living and long-term care communities are especially vulnerable to infections that progress quickly and often go undetected until symptoms escalate. Chronetyx provides fast, accurate molecular testing designed to support early intervention, reduce avoidable hospital transfers, and improve quality of life for residents.

We deliver results within a day for the most common infections affecting senior populations:

• Urine PCR (UTI) (with Antibiotic Resistance Detection)
• Respiratory PCR
• Wound PCR (with Antibiotic Resistance Detection)
• STI PCR

All testing is performed on a fully automated molecular platform, ensuring exceptional accuracy, speed, and consistency.

Why Assisted Living Facilities Partner with Chronetyx

Faster Results = Fewer Hospital Transfers

Most tests return actionable results within a day, helping clinicians treat infections early and avoid unnecessary emergency room visits.

Highly Accurate for Senior Populations

Residents often present with vague or atypical symptoms. PCR detects low-abundance pathogens, mixed infections, and organisms that culture frequently misses.

Antibiotic Stewardship

Our UTI and wound panels detect antibiotic resistance genes, helping providers with insight to the right antibiotic the first time and reduce overuse.

Tests Are Accurate Even After Antibiotic Therapy

Many residents receive empiric therapy before specimens are collected. PCR still delivers reliable results — unlike culture.

Simple, Facility-Friendly Workflow

• Free courier pickup (Memphis area)
• Free FedEx return shipping everywhere else
• Easy swab or urine collection kits
• Results automatically delivered to EHR or securely online CLEO portal

Culture-Comparable Pricing

Advanced molecular diagnostics without increasing testing costs.

Our Assisted Living Panels

Urine PCR (UTI) Panel

Rapid detection of UTIs — the most common infection among older adults.

PCR can identify pathogens that are missed by culture. Our test only tests for antibiotic resistance when pathogens are present.

Benefits:

• Early detection of UTIs before they become systemic
• Reduced delirium and fall risk tied to untreated infections
• Prevents misdiagnosis when symptoms appear nonspecific
• Fewer repeat tests and treatment failures

Respiratory PCR Panel

Accurate identification during cold, flu, RSV, and COVID seasons.

Detects 16 common upper-respiratory pathogens in one swab.

Benefits:

• Helps identify outbreaks early
• Reduces unnecessary antibiotic use
• Supports infection control decisions
• Quick answers for “fever of unknown origin”

Wound PCR Panel

Precision diagnostics for diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, and chronic wounds.

PCR identifies pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes within a day which is up to 5 days faster than culture.

Benefits:

• Faster treatment for high-risk residents
• Detects polymicrobial wound infections
• Reduces hospitalizations from wound complications
• Helps clinicians choose the most effective therapy immediately

STI PCR Panel

Reliable testing for residents in assisted living facilities.

Detects Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trichomonas, and Mycoplasma genitalium with high sensitivity.

The Chronetyx Difference

Automation-Driven Accuracy

Our fully automated workflow reduces manual error and ensures consistent, reliable results.

Fast Turnaround Times

Local automated samples processing means faster results — often next day.

Seamless EHR Integration

Clean reports delivered directly to facility systems or provider inboxes.

High-Touch Support

Dedicated assistance for staff training, kit resupply, and result interpretation.
