    Transform Respiratory Specimen Processing

    Streamline laboratory workflow with the Hologic® RespDirect Collection Kit. After collection, the enhanced Direct Load Tube (eDLT) arrives in the lab and is ready to load onto the Panther/Panther Fusion® system without any uncapping or specimen transfer steps. The eDLT features a penetrable cap offering laboratories the benefit of an automated workflow developed with laboratory professionals in mind.
