    Case Study: A World First Trial

    Lab CEO Dr Dietmar Klimas and cytologist Heike Lesle-Amour share their experiences of trialling the Genius™ Digital Diagnostics System in one of Europe's largest labs.

    A Patient Friendly Experience

    Out-of-the-vial testing minimises the number of samples required for multiple test results. For cervical cancer screening in the case of a first positive or abnormal result, the reflex testing can be directly performed from the same primary sample. This versatile application improves patient comfort and avoids additional follow-up.
