Der Bedarf
- SARS-CoV-2 infections are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, cost and pose an ever-present threat to public health globally.1.2
- SARS-CoV-2 variants continue to emerge, resulting in the risk of new surge cases and death.2
- Testing required to identify the breakthrough infections and informing patient care, especially for the high-risk population.3

Die Lösung
The Xpert Xpress CoV-2 plus test is a rapid, real-time PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal swab or anterior nasal swab specimens from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider, as well as anterior nasal swab specimens from any individual, including from individuals without symptoms or other reasons to suspect COVID-19
The Xpert Xpress CoV-2 plus test provides:
The Xpert Xpress CoV-2 plus test provides:
- Fast and accurate results in as early as 20 minutes*
- Three gene targets for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, providing target redundancy to mitigate potential impact of genetic mutation
- Rapid sample-to-answer testing with actionable results and minimal hands-on-time
* With early assay termination for positives, otherwise, the full test runtime is 30 minutes.

Der Vorteil
- Support clinicians with broader coverage for SARS-CoV-2 variants with a three-gene target design.
- Rapid PCR workflows can reduce time to result, isolation times, and total costs while optimizing capacity. 5
- Enable patients to receive timely and appropriate treatment.4
