Cepheid

Abacus dx

Cepheid is a leading molecular diagnostics company that is dedicated to improving healthcare by developing, manufacturing, and marketing accurate yet easy-to-use molecular systems and tests. By automating highly complex and time-consuming manual procedures, the company's solutions deliver a better way for institutions of any size to perform sophisticated genetic testing for organisms and genetic-based diseases. Through its strong molecular biology capabilities, the company is focusing on those applications where accurate, rapid and actionable test results are needed most, in fields such as critical and health- care associated infections, sexual health, genetic diseases and cancer.

Abacus dx creates value by connecting innovative global suppliers with Australasian customers.

We are proud to partner with leading pathology suppliers, which offer products in the areas of infectious diseases and rapid molecular diagnostic, such as:

- T2 Biosystems: rapid diagnostic method that utilises MRI technology for detecting molecular targets for the identification of 5 of the more common sepsis causing bacteria, resistance gene panel and Candida, from EDTA tubes within 3-5 hours from blood collection.

- SeptiCyte^®RAPID: a diagnostic test developed in Australia by Immunexpress. It provides clinicians with actionable results in just one hour, to rule out sepsis and differentiate it from non-infectious systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), by measuring host mRNA response to systemic infection.
