Instrument works great!
CT/NG and HPV testing
Instrument is very well maintained. Excellent service techs. Very friendly. Service PM's work around our schedule.
Review Date: 2 Jun 2020
Robust platform.
HPV diagnostic
A robust platform for clinical diagnostic to genotype HPV.
Review Date: 20 Dec 2018
Excellent system and fast!
HPV high-risk genotypification
A robust system for diagnostic and genotyping HPV. Easy to use. The only limits is that the system is not affordable for low number of samples (22) is a great equipment.
Review Date: 17 Dec 2018
Reliable results, great instrument! Would have no other!
MOLECULAR TESTING
The instrument is easy to use and very easy to maintain. There is a wide test menu. We have been using this instrument for our Chlamydia and Neisseria testing and also for the HPV testing for 4 years now. The instrument is reliable, hardly any downtime. There have been new tests that we are considering adding on which will greatly add to the quality of our patient care.

CH/GC PCR
This analyzer is very easy to use, however it is very sensitive. A small tap would ruin a run. We would recommend you place this equipment out of the way of walk ways to avoid accidental knocks.
