When it comes to microbiome analysis, the choice of technology directly impacts the accuracy of your results. EG-Mirror utilizes third-generation sequencing technology, which offers 99.9% accuracy in identifying species-level microbiomes—far superior to the 25.1% accuracy achieved by second-generation methods.
