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’.
