Xpert^® BCR-ABL Ultra p190* (RUO)  

The Need

Current testing options for BCR-ABL p190 are not only cumbersome, but also expensive and time consuming for  the lab to implement because:

• Available testing methods are complex and create inefficient laboratory workflows
• No international scale has been established for p190 monitoring, so laboratories are dependent on ratios and must run laborious standard curves.
   

The Solution

Leveraging Cepheid’s “lab in a cartridge” technology, the Xpert BCR-ABL p190 assay decreases workflow complexity and hands-on time by automating the entire testing process, delivering faster results.

Xpert BCR-ABL Ultra p190 is a quantitative assay for the BCR-ABL minor breakpoint (p190) transcripts that provides high assay sensitivity, standardization, and on-demand molecular results in about 2.5 hours. With minimal hands-on time and a streamlined workflow, Xpert BCR-ABL Ultra p190 eliminates the need for time consuming hands-on processes and enables researchers to run p190 testing in-house.

Ease of use

• < 2.5 hours total testing process
• Simply add treated blood sample and an off-board reagent to the Xpert^® cartridge

Sensitive

• Includes two internal controls
• 4 mL input volume of whole blood supports high assay sensitivity for detection of low-level transcripts
