Jul 17, 2020

Cepheid has launched an assay to detect extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. The CE-IVD marked Xpert MTB/XDR test uses new 10-color technology and runs on recalibrated GeneXpert instruments. It can be used to rapidly detect resistance to isoniazid, ethionamide, fluoroquinolones, amikacin, kanamycin, and capreomycin directly from patient specimens.
