Aptima™ HIV-1 Quant Dx Assay
High sensitivity and excellent precision for Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) viral load monitoring.1
Reliable Quantitation1
Deliver reliable, repeatable results with a robust dual-target assay that accurately detects and monitors HIV-1. Running the Aptima HIV-1 Quant DX assay on the Panther® System combines assay performance and excellent automation for viral load monitoring--a combination that delivers sample-to-result within a single integrated instrument.1
High Accuracy & Precision
The Aptima HIV Quant Dx assay is highly accurate for HIV-1 across the dynamic range of the assay.1-2
Efficient Workflow & Flexible Processing
No need for aliquoting or manual sample transfer. PPT, 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.3
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. Enables application of an automatic dilution factor instead of manual calculations.3
Simplify & Scale the Future of Diagnostics
The Aptima HIV-1 Quant Dx 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 rapid result to population-level screening.
Excellent Sensitivity & High Precision
High assay precision provides confidence that any detected increases in viral load are due to clinical changes in patients, rather than assay variation.1,4
