Patients are our Passion

To know Cepheid is to know our spirit of innovation. It’s what compelled us to re-invent the industry’s approach to molecular diagnostic testing. Our founders envisioned “A Better Way” for healthcare professionals to access the incredible speed and accuracy of real-time PCR in a more user-friendly and scalable format — one that could extend beyond the laboratory. Our passion to improve patient care with faster, more accurate answers continues to thrive and is at the heart of everything we do.

Our Mission

Delivering A Better Way to improve patient outcomes by enabling access to molecular diagnostic
testing everywhere.

Our Vision

To be the leading provider of seamlessly connected diagnostic solutions.

Journey Inside the Cepheid GeneXpert^® Cartridge

Prior to Cepheid, the industry was set on two things: batch testing and the idea of a simple test disposable running on a large, complex system. Cepheid changed all that with the first random access system – enabling tests to be run ‘on-demand’ instead of in large batches. Cepheid further improved accessibility by taking much of the complexity out of the system and putting it into a patented, self-contained, single use cartridge. Sample extraction, amplification and detection are all carried out within this ‘laboratory in a cartridge’.
