The New GeneXpert® System
New Systems. Same game-changing performance.
A better way.
WE CAN’T THINK OF BETTER WORDS
THAN “GAME CHANGING”
Improving patient outcomes is the primary goal of any GeneXpert System technology is the cornerstone of our
diagnostic system. But our GeneXpert® family of systems unique approach to a molecular diagnostics product suite,
have set a new standard in workflow flexibility, 24/7 testing which allows us to offer a complete menu of tests on a

GAME CHANGER : CEPHEID GENEXPERT SYSTEM
GAME CHANGER : SPEED
When it comes to speed, other molecular analyzers simply can’t compete.
The GeneXpert® System returns most test results in about an hour, including sample preparation!
Our systems deliver results even faster than many alternative technologies, such as EIA
or Immunoassay.
With the GeneXpert System, labs no longer need rows of equipment and extensively trained
staff to deliver molecular results. No matter which GeneXpert System you choose, Cepheid’s
technology makes on-demand molecular testing available to everyone with unprecedented
speed and ease-of-use.
Our patented cartridges also deliver unsurpassed accuracy across the broadest possible
menu, and are virtually unlimited in the sample types they can process.
GeneXpert Cartridge
The cornerstone of the GeneXpert testing process is
Cepheid’s patented, self-contained, single use cartridge.
Sample extraction, amplification and detection are all carried
out within this self-contained “laboratory in a cartridge”.

With its compact design, the GeneXpert® System allows for portability in the field and can run
tests just about anywhere.

Processing Unit
A four-site GeneXpert System can be configured with 1, 2, 3 or 4 modules.
A 16-site system can be configured with 4, 8, 12, or 16 modules. For the
highest throughput applications, a GeneXpert Infinity System can scale to
80 modules. All systems can be easily upgraded with additional modules.

The GeneXpert® System fully integrates and automates
sample extraction, amplification, and detection — all in one
cartridge. On-demand. Just load a biological sample and the

GAME CHANGER : MENU
The simplicity of the GeneXpert® System is often compared to a chemistry or
hematology analyzer. Simply load the cartridge and the system does the rest.
The unparalleled efficiency and ease-of-use will add unseen value to your
entire institution. However, the “ripple effect” of rapid, real-time, random
access results goes well beyond the four walls of the laboratory — everyone
in your facility benefits from getting the right result at the right time, including
your patients.
And all of Cepheid’s GeneXpert Systems offer complete interfacing

compatibility with your data management system, enabling your clinical staff
to take full advantage of the speed and accuracy of molecular diagnostics.
Finally, the entire GeneXpert family is designed with LEAN principles in mind,
in order to eliminate wasted time, effort, and resources at every opportunity.
The systems can easily integrate into any lab to improve workload and
workflow optimization.
