BD Viper™ System with XTR™ Technology The Fast Track to Molecular Testing Success live healthy lives

Rising prevalence and a better understanding of underlying health risks are increasing the demand for testing of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC), Herpes Simplex Virus 1 & 2 (HSV1 & HSV2)*, and Human Papillomavirus (HPV)* in targeted populations around the world. This demand comes at a time when laboratories are challenged by the pressure to contain healthcare costs, a shortage of trained personnel and expectations to deliver more results and higher quality results with fewer resources. The BD Viper™ System with XTR™ Technology meets these challenges—with fully automated...

Projected Gap Between Labor Demand and Supply of Laboratory Workers3 500,000 The Bureau of Labor Statistics workers will grow from 297,000 in 2002 to 355,000 in 2012—an annual average rate of 1.7 percent. Yet nearly a half million laboratory # of Workers forecasts the supply of laboratory 400,000 300,000 workers will be needed to meet increased demand for services. This 200,000 leaves a shortfall of 138,000 workers or nearly 40 percent of current supply. 2002 2007 Labor Needed ––––––––– 2012 Labor Available ––––––––– Get the most from your investment • Expand urogenital testing while achieving...

Less hands-on time • Deliver up to 736 results per 8.5-hour shift with less than one full-time employee • Less than 20 minutes of total hands-on time per run • On-board sample DNA extraction reduces manual processing steps • Automated sample processing, ready-to-use reagents, and patient sample identification reduce labor and errors, while improving ergonomics • Breakable swabs mean swab heads can be left in the sample tube during processing • Worry-free operation: Automatic system checks ensure the system is running smoothly prior to and during each run

BD FOX™ Extractor Module: Holds 96 single-dose BD FOX extraction tubes and permanent magnet assembly for on-board DNA extraction.
