This dedicated website developed by Alpha Laboratories provides a valuable resource regarding the serious issue of sepsis.

A systemic inflammatory response to a microbial infection, sepsis occurs in 1 in 23 patients admitted to hospital and has a tragic 16% mortality rate.

Sepsis-Diagnostics.co.uk introduces QuickFISH™ rapid diagnostic technology. Using this simple slide based test, the laboratory can specifically identify the causative pathogen species of an infection, directly from positive blood culture - in just 20 minutes. This advance means that patients can receive the correct life-saving treatment up to two days earlier than with conventional diagnostic methods.
