An Efficient Solution to Viral Load Testing

Aptima Virology assays operate on the Panther® System. This means fast, true sample-to-result automation, everything your lab needs to meet today’s molecular testing demands.1

Multiple Results from a Single Sample

Sensitive and precise assays for viral load testing, with concurrent testing of single or multiple assays on a single patient's sample.2-4

Delivering Viral Load Results When you Need It

Run assays concurrently from a single sample. Receive all three results, HIV-1, HCV and HBV, in 2 hours and 52 minutes.4

Improve Workflow & Assay Consolidation

Benefit from efficient workflow, reduced hands-on time and sample volume scalability by running assays on the fully-automated Panther System.5 Consolidate your viral load testing alongside the extensive Panther molecular menu.

Seamless Platform Integration Within your Lab

Primary tube loading enables  further workflow efficiency, positive sample identification and the ability to load samples as they arrive.
