E X P A N D I N G
INCREASE YOUR FLEXIBILITYMenu consolidation: Run respiratory, virology, sexual health, cervical health and women’s health assays simultaneously on the same instrument
Random access: Load any combination of sample types and assays at the same time.
Continuous loading: Load samples, reagents and consumables at any time.
THE PANTHER FUSION® SYSTEM allows you to run both PCR and TMA assays, increase walkaway freedom, enhance flexibility
and evolve your lab’s efficiency.
EXPAND YOUR PRODUCTIVITY High throughput: Process 335 Panther Fusion® assays or combine Panther Fusion® and Aptima® assays for up to 500 tests in 8 hours.
Testing versatility: Run multiple assays from a single sample.
Sample efficiency: Multiple PCR tests from a single extraction.
Sample capacity: Continuously load and access up to 120 samples.
IMPROVE WORKFLOW Automated maintenance: Schedule during off hours to reduce hands-on time.
Bidirectional LIS interface: Streamline data management.
60-day onboard reagent stability: Minimize waste.
EVOLVEyour lab’s molecular diagnostic capabilities.
