Activate the Panther system.
The Panther system consolidates a broad assay menu on a single, fully automated platform that enables you to test for infectious pathogens and sexually transmitted infections (STIs)—including HIV-1, Zika virus*, chlamydia, gonorrhea, HPV, and trichomoniasis—in parallel.
- Load-and-go automation without batching restrictions.
- Run multiple assays—up to 4—simultaneously for increased efficiency.
- True walk-away freedom with less hands-on time for flexible workflow and streamlined efficiency.


Leave the batch behind.
Deliver more same-day results to your customers, with no batching restrictions.
- Load samples as they arrive, in any order.
- Prioritize and run urgent samples.
- Run as few as 1 or as many as 94 clinical samples, with no additional controls required.
Unlock potential with random access.
Customize your workflow with random access on the Panther system.
- Access the instrument at any time to load additional samples or reagents.
- Continuous access so you can unload processed samples and load new samples as needed.
- Unload and store reagents as needed to reduce waste.
Increase productivity with full automation.
Load and go with less hands-on time than any other viral load platform.
- Load and process primary tubes (PPT, ACD, and EDTA) directly on the Panther system.
- No sample transfer or pipetting required.
- No operator intervention necessary during a run.
Small footprint. Big possibilities.1-4
More results with less space: <1 square meter and over 300 results in less than 8 hours.
- True sample-to-result automation: All sample processing, amplification, and detection in one contained unit.
- Potential to consolidate a broad assay menu onto one fully automated instrument.
