Xpert MRSA

Healthcare's #1 choice for on-demand MRSA testing.

"The GeneXpert^® System has taken the TAT of results from 2-3 days down to a few hours. Now we do not have to presumptively isolate patients. This has helped to reduce nursing labor, improve bed management and reduce isolation costs in the ICU."
