Wonderful product. I just love it!
Application Area:Detection of Tuberculosis as well as Rifampicin resistance in sputum and stool samples
"The product has fair sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing smear-negative pulmonary TB. It is faster than culture and can detect rifampicin-resistant strains of MTB. Very user-friendly. We receive awesome after-sales care from the retailer and training provider. It is worth it! With its effectiveness and non-time-consuming technique, we are getting the value for our money."

Excellent equipment - easy to use with good results.
Application Area:Respiratory virus testing
"Product is highly effective, extremely easy to implement, validate and operate. Early in the pandemic, test kits were a bit difficult to obtain due to supply issues. However, by Summer of 2020, products have been readily available. Test kits/results are high quality (accuracy an precision) however, quite costly."

Great results, fast and efficient.
Application Area:PCR - nucleic acid analysis
"GeneXpert has turned the diagnosis of anti-tuberculosis drug resistance upside down. It is easy to use, it allows a quick and efficient diagnosis. On the other hand, it is necessary to try on several control samples before. Maintenance has been lacking since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, it takes a few weeks, which is the only negative point for this product."

Fantastic instrument, very flexible.
Application Area:Pathogen identification
"Cepheid's GeneXpert platform is the easiest to use that we have found so far. We typically do not have micro staff overnight and so the ease of use allows for our third shifter technologists to be able to run STAT testing. This has been especially useful during the COVID pandemic. This is the type of platform that could be employed in many different arenas from clinics to hospitals of all kinds. This is about as close to point of care molecular testing as I have seen. We love it and have had it for over 12 years. Definitely a good value for the price."

Application Area:Detection of resistance genes directly from swabs or blood
"This platform is able to detect van A and B genes and mecA genes directly from screening swabs. It is very easy to use and provides rapid results. Although the van gene test gives an excellent negative predictive value, the false positive rate is high. Detection of MRSA is reasonably reliable although we have had a few false positive and false negative results. The technical team from Cepheid are very helpful."
