Rethinking Right

Right for all patients is not the same as right for each patient. Crafting a plan for the highest quality care is nothing if you can’t execute it. Hologic® syndromic testing assays and the Panther® system are the products of considered design, optimizing the diagnostic process to deliver the best results rapidly and responsibly.

Just Right

When providers confront non-specific symptoms, molecular testing can help clarify critical care decisions with diagnostic insight. 

While traditional testing methods can be costly, cumbersome and consume precious time, comprehensive, one-size-fits-all solutions often use unnecessary resources.

The right path for each case is not the right path for every case.

Choosing Hologic helps give you the choice of how to treat each patient. Hologic syndromic testing empowers diagnostic stewardship: the thoughtful application of resources on a case-by-case basis.
