What is Cepheid’s GeneXpert® System?
The GeneXpert system is a market leader* in sample-to-answer PCR diagnostic testing with the largest global installed base and operating in over 180 countries. It is the first easy-to-use, random-access system developed to enable tests to run “on-demand” instead of in large batches. The instrument is a real-time PCR-based molecular diagnostic testing platform integrating a computer, barcode scanner, and preloaded software that controls the testing process. Self-contained, single-use test cartridges perform automated nucleic acid extraction, PCR amplification, and detection of target sequences when loaded onto the instrument. The system is uniquely scalable to meet the demands of any clinical environment.
*Based on internal install base data.

What is the Xpert® Test Cartridge?
The cornerstone of the GeneXpert solution is Cepheid’s patented, single-use Xpert test cartridge, in which nucleic acid extraction, amplification, and detection are all self-contained.
Cepheid revolutionized molecular diagnostics with this Lab in a Cartridge™ innovation that enabled sample-to-answer PCR testing. Our iconic blue cartridge lid and foot indicate an industry standard of excellence. Prior, PCR technology was limited to time-consuming manual lab procedures performed by highly-skilled technicians or batch testing on large, complex systems. Cepheid’s growing menu of fast, accurate, and easy-to-use PCR tests gives healthcare professionals access to clinically relevant, on-demand results for a range of disease states, all on one standardized, scalable platform.
