    Extend Your GI Coverage

    The Panther Fusion GI Expanded Bacterial Assays supports informed clinical decision-making without adding needless complexity. With speed and sensitivity, the Panther Fusion GI Expanded Bacterial Assay enables you to customize testing for every patient, every time.

    Superior Workflow1

    Valid rate of 98.1% after initial test and a 99.4% valid rate after retest,1 on a system with a large sample capacity, high throughput and minimal hands-on time.

    Sensitive and Specific1

    In a clinical trial evaluating over 1700 samples, The Panther Fusion® GI Expanded Bacterial Assay showed a positive percent agreement (PPA) of more than 98% for all targets.1

    Customizable Flexible Panel

    Deliver only the results needed with customizable testing that simplifies diagnostic stewardship.

    Maximum Bacterial Coverage with Minimal Effort

    Simplified Workflow on a Fully Automated Platform Infographic

    Whether you run just the Panther Fusion® GI Expanded Bacterial Assay alone or alongside other Panther Fusion® GI Assays you only need one Aptima® Multitest Tube onboard which means you get straightforward workflow and broad coverage with one pre-analytical prep. 

    Cascading or masking of results is simple, keeping you in control of implementing a GI diagnostic stewardship strategy that works for your lab.

    More than gut instinct. Performance you can count on.

    Deliver results that enhance patient care and streamline laboratory workflows without adding needless complexity.

    GI Expanded Bacterial targets

    • Yersinia enterocolitica
    • Vibrio spp.
    • Plesiomonas shigelloides
    • E. coli O157

    Extend and augment your list of GI targets, amplifying the detection power of your lab. The Panther Fusion GI Expanded Bacterial Assay can be run independently or in addition to the Panther Fusion® GI Bacterial Assay. 

    Simple pre-analytical processing with Aptima Multitest Tubes lets you run just one GI panel at a time or all at once without adding extra steps.

    Innovation never rests, and neither do we.

    Our GI portfolio is under development to bring the diagnostic power of Hologic to a wide range of gastrointestinal illnesses.
