COBAS TAQSCREEN MPX TEST
	The cobas TaqMan MPX test is an advanced multiplex test for screening the blood for multiple virus in a single tube. Product features: Proven Sensitivity & Specificity The cobas TaqScreen MPX Test brings NAT to a higher standard of sensitivity and specificity in screening for HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, and HCV. The high clinical sensitivity of cobas TaqScreen MPX Test helps close the "window period," compared with conventional serology. Ready-to-Use Reagents Reagents are in ready-to-use cassettes - no need to create working reagents Simultaneously test for multiple viruses in one sample, saving time and increasing efficiency HIV-1 (Group M; subtypes A-J), HIV-1 (Group O) and HIV-2 HBV (genotypes A-H) HCV (genotypes/subtypes 1a, 1b, 2, 2a, 2a/c, 2b, 3a, 3a/b, 4, 4a, 4b/4c, 5, 5a, 6, 6a) Signal detection in two separate channels allows simultaneous monitoring of viral target and full process internal control during real-time PCR, ensuring result integrity
