New Ways. New Innovations. New Paths Towards Disease Management.
Cancer is Hard. Testing for it Shouldn’t Be.
Cepheid’s innovative oncology program offers a growing menu of molecular diagnostic tests that currently focus on cancers of the breast, bladder, and blood. Harnessing the power of quantitative PCR technology and the World's most popular sample-to-answer PCR testing system1, Cepheid oncology products provide on-site, on-demand, standardized, and reliable results.
Cepheid expanded its breast cancer diagnostics capabilities with the acquisition of OncoMark, a company that developed technology to estimate the likelihood of early-stage breast cancer recurrence after treatment.
Optimized to run on the Cepheid GeneXpert® systems, the technology uses a proprietary algorithm to produce a binary risk score (high risk vs low risk) to predict the likelihood of disease recurrence in the next 10 years.
Cepheid also continues to offer the Xpert® Breast Cancer STRAT4 biomarker test in countries accepting the CE-IVD mark.

Xpert Breast Cancer STRAT-4 is not available in the US.

Xpert® Bladder Cancer Detection3 & Xpert® Bladder Cancer Monitor3
Xpert Bladder Cancer Detection and Xpert Bladder Cancer Monitor* are two easy to use, non-invasive bladder cancer tests. Xpert Bladder Cancer Detection* is intended to detect the presence of bladder cancer in patients with hematuria. Xpert Bladder Cancer Monitor* is indicated as an aid to standard clinical evaluation in monitoring for bladder cancer recurrence in patients previously diagnosed with bladder cancer. Both tests measure five bladder cancer- specific biomarkers and require only a urine sample from the patient.

Xpert Breast Cancer STRAT4
Xpert Breast Cancer STRAT4* is an mRNA-based test that standardizes and simplifies the assessment of ESR1, PGR, ERBB2, and MKi67 breast cancer biomarkers. In less than 2 hours, the test provides objective and reproducible results that are well-correlated with central lab IHC/ISH methods. Clear and accurate results empower pathologists and oncologists.

In Here, We are Defining a New Era of Cancer Diagnostics
More than a decade ago, Cepheid set the standard for innovation in automated molecular diagnostics with the GeneXpert® System. The complicated process of nucleic acid extraction, amplification and detection is all carried out within each single use cartridge. By making complex technology easy to use, our GeneXpert® cartridge has become the symbol of the Molecular Revolution. Using advanced microfluidics, all aspects of the testing process are handled within the cartridge chambers, minimizing the risk of cross contamination. Each cartridge is standardized and comes with internal controls, making running extra standard curves obsolete. Our oncology tests quickly and accurately characterize multiple cancer markers using the same game changing system.

Journey Inside the Cepheid GeneXpert® Cartridge
Prior to Cepheid, the industry was set on two things: batch testing and the idea of a simple test disposable running on a large, complex system. Cepheid changed all that with the first random access system – enabling tests to be run ‘on-demand’ instead of in large batches. Cepheid further improved accessibility by taking much of the complexity out of the system and putting it into a patented, self-contained, single use cartridge. Sample extraction, amplification and detection are all carried out within this ‘laboratory in a cartridge’.
