A SINGLE PLATFORM, GENERATIONS AHEAD Over a decade ago we set the standard for innovation in automated molecular diagnostics with our first platform, the SmartCycler® System. The technology developed for SmartCycler paved the way for the GeneXpert® System, the industry’s most advanced molecular platform. Today, it remains the only system capable of delivering any test, at any time, from any sample anywhere. 2014: Consolidating the Molecular Workstation Following the events of September 11, 2001, Cepheid’s next generation technology was thrust into the spotlight. The search for a solution to ensure...

I ’ve been in the field for 35 years, and I’m not often impressed by new technology, but the GeneXpert System really floored me. If a device can save money in terms of use of supplies, patient health, and time in hospital, its value is immeasurable. Gail Woosley, Manager, Lab Services Wooster Community Hospital GeneXpert Infinity System

A LABORATORY IN A CARTRIDGE Complex technology made simple and easy to use, our GeneXpert® cartridge has become the symbol of the Molecular Revolution. Regardless of where tests are performed — whether in a reference lab, a retail pharmacy, a physician office lab, or even disseminated among multiple hospital departments — this cartridge can handle any patient sample type while delivering consistent, reproducible results. ^ Universal Medical Utility From infectious disease to oncology, the cartridge is equipped for any sample type. All of Cepheid's current and planned tests use the GeneXpert cartridge. Managing...

The most amazing aspect of the GeneXpert cartridge is found in its ability to mask some incredibly complex processes from the end user — all in a sealed, disposable container. It’s the cornerstone of our technology and how we enable the easiest, fastest, and most accurate molecular solution available today. David H.

© CEPHEID DELIVERS HIGH MEDICAL & ECONOMIC VALUE Time to result is crucial. The answers that doctors and patients need are not always available in time to make a difference. The GeneXpert® System has the ability to provide rapid and accurate results earlier when medical value is at its peak, enabling clinical decisions that can positively impact patient outcomes. Our systems work around the clock to improve life. ^ Medical Value: Patient Impact • Reduce misdiagnosis • Eliminate patient cross-infection • Reduce length of stay ^ Efficiency: Economic Impact • Reduce unnecessary antibiotics • Reduce...

This is really a groundbreaking and revolutionary new test. The last new test we had for TB was in the 1940s, and smear microscopy more than 100 years ago, and this is really the first breakthrough we’ve seen in rapid diagnosis of TB. Faster diagnosis has two main benefits. It prevents premature deaths from the disease, because patients can be treated earlier, and it interrupts the chain of transmission of both tuberculosis and MDR-TB, or multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis. Where we could rapidly get TB and MDR-TB diagnosed and treated, it would have a significant impact on the global problem...

SPEED, ACCURACY, AND EASE OF USE* By combining accurate results, rapid answers, and technology that’s easy to use, we offer institutions across the healthcare spectrum entry into a world of truly transformative diagnostic solutions. From small rural hospitals to the largest reference labs, the benefits of molecular diagnostics have at last become available to us all. Every day. Moment by moment. We are delivering a better way. This new test represents a milestone for global TB diagnosis and care. It also represents new hope for the millions of people who are at the highest risk of TB and drug-resistant...
