Hologic has launched scalable options for its Panther molecular diagnostics system that offer more flexibility and efficiency for low- to high-volume molecular testing laboratories.
The Panther system features the following:
- Random access and full automation for molecular testing
- An assay menu that includes tests for women's health, sexually transmitted infections, respiratory health, and viral load
- An open-access function for laboratory-developed tests
The new scalable options include Panther Fusion, which offers an additional IVD menu, and two other features: Panther Plus, which improves test throughput, and Panther Link, which allows multiple Panther instruments to communicate with each other.
