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.
With more than 20,000 systems in over 180 countries, the GeneXpert System is the world's most popular molecular diagnostics platform. The modular configuration can fulfill the testing needs of any institution by offering the ability to perform from one to eighty Xpert® tests.
Game-changing technology like this didn’t happen overnight. Hear from the engineering duo behind the technology, Cepheid Fellows Ron Chang and Doug Dority:
SmartCycler
Integrated amplification and detection.
GeneXpert System
Integrated sample preparation, amplification, and detection. Available in 1-, 4-, and 16-module configurations.
Infinity-48 System
Even greater automation than GeneXpert, with up to 48 modules.
Infinity-80 System
With up to 80 modules
GeneXpert Xpress
System for near patient applications launched with Xpert® Xpress Flu and Xpert Xpress Flu/RSV.
GeneXpert Omni
Portable single module launched into the Emerging Markets.
For In Vitro Diagnostic Use.
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’.
Take a tour inside this amazing technology:
Cepheid is committed to providing high quality products and services that consistently meet or exceed customer expectations. The focus on quality begins at the earliest stage of product design and carries through to the end user. Individual ownership is the basis of the Cepheid quality system. Cepheid complies with applicable regulatory requirements and continues to ensure the effectiveness of the quality management system.
