MITOSWAB

A NON-INVASIVE TEST TO EVALUATE
MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION

Know the Power of the Mitochondria with a simple swab of the cheek

Mitochondrial disorders may occur at any age.

Appropriate evaluation may lead to improvement in patient care *

Mitochondrial dysfunction may cause many acute and chronic illnesses including Autism, Developmental delays, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Heart Failure, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Depression, etc.

MITOSWAB

MITOSWAB™ is a non-invasive test that analyzes the power of the mitochondria. With a simple buccal mucosal swab, MitoSwab™ will analyze the components of the Electron Transport Chain. Additionally, it measures Citrate Synthase activity, which provides an indicator of the overall mitochondrial content within the cells.

MITOSWAB™ has an 84% correlation with the muscle biopsy, which is the current gold standard for the evaluation of mitochondrial dysfunction. The ease of using a buccal swab makes MitoSwab™ the first choice for the exploratory investigation of mitochondrial dysfunction.

Structure of the Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

Abnormalities or injury to the ETC can cause mitochondrial dysfunction. MitoSwab™ may help the Health Care Provider analyze and improve mitochondrial health to achieve better patient care.

* Note: Note: Please consult your Health Care Practitioner for guidance on evaluation and treatment. MitoSwab™ has been developed and its performance characteristics determined by the CLIA-certified laboratory performing the test. MitoSwab™ has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
