Automated PCR-based diagnostic system
Instrument platform for automated molecular amplification and detection that supports scalable configurations for both core laboratory and near-patient environments and operates with modular assay formats.
Modular molecular assay cartridges for infectious diseases
Cartridge-format molecular assays targeting multiple infectious disease indications to enable pathogen detection and differentiation at the point of care or in laboratories.
Xpert®
The Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus test is a multiplexed real-time PCR test intended for the simultaneous in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of RNA from SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and/or RSV in nasopharyngeal swab or anterior nasal swab specimens collected from individuals with signs and/or symptoms of respiratory viral infection.
Xpert® Xpress CoV-2 plus
A rapid real-time RT-PCR test performed on the GeneXpert System with Touchscreen for qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in nasopharyngeal and anterior nasal swab specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection.
Xpert® Xpress Flu/RSV
Co-labeled Moderate Complexity and CLIA-Waived. Fast, accurate and reliable detection of Flu A, Flu B and/or RSV in one test
Xpert® Xpress Strep A
A rapid PCR test for detection of Streptococcus A on the GeneXpert® Xpress system, designed for point-of-care testing.
