Private UTI testing using Lodestar DX

Accurate

Lodestar DX uses LAMP technology offering high specificity and sensitivity unlike urine dipstick tests which have a high degree of inaccuracy and do not identify the bacteria.

Fast

Lodestar DX provides a result within 35 minutes. This means patients can get an informed treatment decision while they are with the consultant.

Six bacteria in one test

The Lodestar UTI testing system looks for six bacteria that cause approximately 93% of infections. Sometimes an infection could be caused by a rare pathogen which Lodestar does not detect. Knowing that your UTI is not caused by a common bacteria helps guide the consultant's choice of treatment pathway.

Portable

Because Lodestar DX is small and portable some consultants offer testing at multiple locations.

Targeted treatment

Lodestar UTI helps consultants prescribe narrow spectrum antibiotics - or to rule-out the presence of an infection. By identifying the specific bacteria present a targeted antibiotic can be given that is specific to your condition. Or, if no bacteria is present, it may be that an alternative approach is needed.
