Every organism, found or not
Including the ones you hoped weren't there and the ones nobody thought to look for. A result that says “nothing detected” tells you almost nothing. A result that lists what is there tells you a great deal.
At-home microbiome sequencing
A culture grows a short list. Sequencing reads everything that's there.
One self-collected swab. We name every bacterium and fungus we find and tell you what proportion each one makes up. Not a verdict, not a diagnosis. The actual composition, in your own hands.
Kits aren't shipping yet. We're finishing lab validation, and you'll hear from us the day that changes, at founding-customer pricing.
Sample 111 organisms detected
Sample 219 organisms detected
Neither of these is graded. One is dominated by a single species, one isn't. What that means for you is a conversation with a clinician, not a number we invented.
Species, not genus
Four Lactobacillus species behave differently from one another, so calling them all “Lactobacillus” throws away the part that matters. We name them individually, and we speciate yeast too.
Your raw data, yours
You paid for the sequencing, so the sequencing belongs to you. Exportable, and take it to a researcher or a clinician or another service if you want a second read.
Who's building it
Built by someone who reads the raw data
MadoHealth is a small company in Elk River, Minnesota. The person designing the panel and writing the analysis is a computational biologist and biochemist, which is why the report names four Lactobacillus species separately instead of lumping them together, and why it speciates yeast rather than stopping at “Candida.” Details like that are the whole product.
We publish the sequencing method, the full organism list, and the thresholds a specimen has to meet, so you can judge the science before you spend anything on it.
Questions about the method are welcome and get answered by the person who chose it.
