Xpert® Xpress CoV-2 plus

Order & Support
CoV-2 plus computer generated depiction.
Designed with 3 gene targets for a rapid, robust detection of SARS-CoV-2

The Need

an ill woman listens to a physician
  • SARS-CoV-2 infections are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, cost and pose an ever-present threat to public health globally.1,2
  • SARS-CoV-2 variants continue to emerge, resulting in the risk of new surge cases and death.2
  • Testing required to identify the breakthrough infections and informing patient care, especially for the high-risk population.3

The Solution

The Xpert Xpress CoV-2 plus test is a rapid, real-time PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal swab or anterior nasal swab specimens from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider, as well as anterior nasal swab specimens from any individual, including from individuals without symptoms or other reasons to suspect COVID-19
The Xpert Xpress CoV-2 plus test provides:
  • Fast and accurate results in as early as 20 minutes*
  • Three gene targets for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, providing target redundancy to mitigate potential impact of genetic mutation
  • Rapid sample-to-answer testing with actionable results and minimal hands-on-time
* With early assay termination for positives, otherwise, the full test runtime is 30 minutes.

The Impact

  • Support clinicians with broader coverage for SARS-CoV-2 variants with a three-gene target design.
  • Rapid PCR workflows can reduce time to result, isolation times, and total costs while optimizing capacity. 5
  • Enable patients to receive timely and appropriate treatment.4
