About GutID

Built by people who helped bring the first commercial next-generation sequencer to market.

Next-generation sequencing made the gut microbiome measurable at scale. GutID is made by Intus Biosciences, a microbiome sequencing company in Meriden, Connecticut.

GS20

The first commercial next-generation sequencing instrument, built at 454 Life Sciences.

Two of the people behind the GS20 went on to design Titan-1. Our clinical team turns what Titan-1 measures into guidance for practice.

Why it is different

A patented, published method.

  1. The method is ours

    Titan-1 has three parts: a lysis and extraction step we make in-house, a patented amplicon, and our own classification software.

  2. Patented and ISO 9001-certified

    Titan-1™ is a patented platform, run in an ISO 9001-certified operation. The method is documented and runs the same way on every sample.

    Titan-1™ patentedISO 9001
  3. Answerable to clinicians

    The work is published and the interpretation is written down: what each measure means and how much weight it can carry.

Where samples are processed

Sequenced in the United States.

A CLIA laboratory in the United States processes every sample on the patented Titan-1 platform. GutID is available in the US, the UK and Canada.
