    Quantitate with Confidence

    Deliver trusted results with dual targets across wide linear range and all major HBV genotypes. Running the Aptima HBV Quant assay on the Panther® System combines performance and
    excellent automation for viral load monitoring. A combination that delivers sample-to-result within a single integrated instrument.1

    Efficient Workflow & Flexible Processing

    Sample flexibility EDTA tubes, plasma preparation tubes ACD and EDTA tubes are all validated.1 You can run multiple tests from a single sample. No manual sample preparation with primary tube loading to maintain positive sample identification.

    Random Access & Rapid Turnaround Time

    No more batching. You can run different test orders from the same sample as they arrive at the laboratory. Rapid turnaround time with first results in just 2 hours, 41 minutes. Prioritises STAT results.2

    Automated Analysis & Dilution Factor

    Automated QC analysis with Levey-Jennings plots to track and trend controls. Low sample volume option (240 μL) with automated dilution factor, applying automatic dilution factor instead of manual calculations.2

    Simplify and Scale the Future of Diagnostics

      The Aptima HBV Quant Assay is part of the Hologic Molecular Scalable Solution, a portfolio combining a broad, high performing assay menu with high throughput automation. Designed to flexibly scale to meet your needs, from a single patient result to population-level screening.

    A Global Challenge

    Hepatitis B virus (HBV), one of several viruses known to cause hepatitis, has been attributed to lifelong infection, cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure and potentially death. The World Health Organisation (WHO) lists HBV as one of the world’s most common infectious diseases. The prevalence of infection and method of transmission varies greatly around the world. About 1/3 of the world’s population has  evidence of past or present HBV infection, with chronic HBV infection occurring in more than 350 million people worldwide.3-5
