Validated for use on multiple lesion specimen types, the test is designed to streamline workflows and support rapid, appropriate clinical management of infections with similar symptoms. The SpeeDx portfolio is based on advanced multiplex technology, and the PlexPCR VHS test is the latest to gain CE-IVD mark, supplementing the company’s range of market-leading infectious disease and antibiotic resistance detection tests.
