Rapid AIDS test Xpert®

HIVplasmamolecular

The World Health Organization estimated that 38 million people worldwide were living with HIV at the end of 2019.1 Today, measurement of blood plasma HIV-1 RNA concentration (known as HIV viral load) using nucleic acid- based molecular diagnostic assays has been established as the standard of care in assessing HIV-positive patient prognosis and response to antiretroviral therapy. Assessment of viral load levels is a strong predictor of the rate of disease progression and, by itself or in combination with CD4 T-cell counts, has great prognostic value.2-7 The need for a rapid HIV viral load test with flexibility to adapt to any throughput requirements and random access for urgent samples is greater than ever because each individual patient deserves better care. The Solution Xpert HIV-1 Viral Load is a quantitative test that provides on-demand molecular testing. Based on the GeneXpert® technology, Xpert HIV-1 Viral Load automates the test process including RNA extraction, purification, reverse transcription and cDNA real time quantitation in one fully integrated cartridge. Redefining Simple: Easy Run daily or on-demand No requirements for PCR room settings No daily maintenance or liquid waste management Rapid No batch, no delay Minimal hands-on time Flexible Compatible with any lab volume Providing up to 403 viral load results per 8 hours^ Random access 24/7 availability Run multiple different tests on the same platform at any time Quantification standards run in every test for fixed cost per reportable result independent of daily volume
