Why Cepheid's GeneXpert is ideal for COVID-19 Strategies - High Volume Labs to Point-of-Care Testing
The GeneXpert System was built for simple, reference lab quality PCR testing – on location at medical centers and hospitals or closer to patient in health clinics and nursing homes. At the core of every GeneXpert System is the module (or testing bay) where a test cartridge is loaded onto the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below is a list of common questions and answers for Cepheid’s SARS-CoV-2 tests.
For additional information please Contact Us.
Cepheid has launched the Xpert® Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus and Xpert® Xpress CoV-2 plus tests with three gene targets (E, N2, and RdRP) for SARS-CoV-2 to enable detection of current and future variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The tests are designed for broad coverage to mitigate the possible effects of viral genetic drift.
Cepheid’s tests are well suited for pandemic response. From the time a sample (such as a nasopharyngeal swab) is taken, a result can be obtained in less than an hour on our automated systems. We call this “sample to answer” and the samples can be loaded as they are received for true on-demand testing. It takes less than a minute to prepare the cartridge with the patient sample. Xpert® Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus can report positives for SARS-CoV-2 in as little as 25 minutes* and Xpert® Xpress CoV-2 plus tests can report a positive result as soon as 20 minutes^
All of Cepheid’s SARS-CoV-2 tests, including Xpert® Xpress CoV-2/Flu/ or RSV plus and Xpert® Xpress CoV-2 plus, can be run on GeneXpert® II, IV, XVI, Infinity 48, Infinity 80.

The tests are designed to detect SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus and Xpert Xpress CoV-2 plus target the E, N2 and RdRP genes for robust detection of SARS-CoV-2.
Xpert® Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus and Xpert® Xpress CoV-2 plus support a variety of sample types including nasopharyngeal and anterior nasal swabs in UTM/VTM, saline, or eNAT. Additional information, including sample types for Cepheid’s other SARS-CoV-2 tests, can be found on the product resource page at www.cepheid.com/coronavirus-resources and in the package inserts.#
