The Need
- Rapidly detect SARS-CoV-2, including emerging variants, to provide timely, effective triage
- Increase workflow efficiencies with minimal hands-on time
The Solution
The Xpert Xpress CoV-2 plus test provides:
- Fast and accurate results in as early as 20 minutes*
- Three gene targets for SARS-CoV-2 as well as an optimization of SARS-CoV-2 probes to enable more realizable virus detection
- Rapid sample-to-answer testing with actionable results from a single sample
*With early assay termination for positives, otherwise, the full test runtime is 30 minutes.
The Impact
- Offers healthcare providers lab-quality results in a test that can be performed at the point of care
- Supports clinicians with broader coverage for SARS-CoV-2 variants with a three-gene design
- Enables hospitals to effectively manage limited resources with our single-cartridge technology and easy-to-use workflow

Frequently Asked Questions
Cepheid developed the Xpert® Xpress CoV-2 plus test with several enhancements compared to the Xpert® Xpress SARS-CoV-2. Key enhancements include:
- The addition of a 3rd gene target for SARS-CoV-2 (RdRP now included in addition to E and N2), to be more robust against mutations
- Improved Time to Result (TTR) at about 30 minutes
- Expansion of on-label transport media options to include the addition of eNAT®
Sample Types:
GeneXpert Dx and Infinity Systems:
- From individuals suspected of COVID-19: Nasopharyngeal swab, anterior nasal swab, mid-turbinate swab, oropharyngeal swab or nasal wash/aspirate specimens
- From any individual, including individuals without symptoms or other reasons to suspect COVID-19: anterior nasal swab specimens
- In 3mL of viral transport media (UTM/VTM), 3mL of Saline, or 2mL of eNAT
GeneXpert Xpress systems (Hub and Tablet):
- From individuals suspected of COVID-19: Nasopharyngeal swab, anterior nasal swab, or mid-turbinate swabs specimens
- From any individual, including individuals without symptoms or other reasons to suspect COVID-19: anterior nasal swab specimens
- In 3mL of viral transport media (UTM/VTM), 3mL of Saline, or 2mL of eNAT.
Viral transport media are available from several commercial vendors who may use the terminology VTM (Viral Transport Medium) or UTM (Universal Transport Medium). Any brand meeting the guidelines for VTM/UTM can be used. UTM, VTM, Saline, and eNAT are on label.
For additional questions regarding SARS-CoV-2 Transport Media options, please refer to the FDA webpage FAQS on Viral Transport Media During COVID-19.
The listed external controls are Zeptometrix External Controls:
- SARS-Related Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) External Run Control, Catalog# NATSARS(COV2)-ERC
- SARS Associated Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Negative Control, Catalog# NATSARS(COV2)-NEG
These are described in the “materials available but not provided” section of the package insert as the recommended source for external controls. Please consult with Cepheid’s Technical Support team to inquire about other commercial sources for QC material.
Before going live with a new test, a verification study may be necessary. Please follow your laboratory and regulatory requirements when instituting a new test in your laboratory. A verification guide that describes the preparation of contrived positive specimens (prepared by spiking commercial reference material into negative specimens) is available for download on this page.
