Simple Solutions for Patient Monitoring What is the interest of having a high level of sensitivity? Higher sensitivity means you are able to offer better patient monitoring, particularly in the low viral load values. This ensures patients can benefit from enhanced quality of life through better adapted therapy and rapid detection of resistance to treatment. Why is flexibility important? A test that is flexible will adapt more readily to the needs of the different types of laboratories and patients. It ensures you will be able to monitor patients using the same technology and platform whatever the setting or lab configuration. Teamed with Dry Blood Spot (DBS), a simple, safe transport medium, viral load monitoring of patients in remote areas is now possible enabling patients who could previously not be monitored to receive treatment.

Why Choose NucliSENS EasyQ HIV-1? V 2.0 2 Rapid, Simple Results Turn-around-time from sample to result is < 3 hours per run, with less than 1 hour hands-on time, allowing fast reporting and optimal workflow planning. Results are also expressed clearly and simply. 2 Sensitive Testing The unrivaled, proprietary magnetic BOOM extraction combined with the highly efficient real-time NASBA reaction of only one hour ensures very sensitive test results. 2 Flexible And Scalable The NucliSENS system configuration is fully adaptable to individual laboratory needs with a testing capability going from 8 up to over 1000 tests per day per technician with extraction being performed on either the manual NucliSENS minimag or automated NucliSENS easymag. Both plasma and DBS samples can be used ensuring both routine and remote patient monitoring can be performed. 2 Internally Calibrated Reliable and accurate quantification is achieved through an individual, internal calibrator that is already added at the sample lysis step. This calibrator validates each sample making external controls superfluous. 2 Space Saving & No Contamination The NucliSENS EasyQ system fits easily into every laboratory and is a closed system preventing contamination.

Committed to the fight for 25 years biomérieux's commitment to HIV testing started 25 years ago, at the very beginning of the epidemic. Our research teams developed one of the first screening tests available in 1985, following the discovery of the HIV virus. Today, biomérieux diagnostics play an essential role in HIV management, for screening, preventing mother-to-child transmission and improving patient care. We are committed to making innovation in HIV testing accessible to all types of healthcare settings and systems. To further this goal, biomérieux will bring viral load monitoring to patients in remote areas through one of the latest breakthroughs in HIV testing, the Dry Blood Spot. 04-09/ 007GB99029A / This document is not legally binding, biomérieux reserves the right to modify specifications without notice - biomérieux, the blue logo, BOOM, easymag, minimag, NASBA, NucliSENS, NucliSENS EasyQ, VIDIA, VIKIA, VIDAS, and Vironostika are used, pending and/or registered trademarks belonging to biomérieux S.A. or one of its subsidiaries / Molecular beacons are licensed from PHRI Properties, Inc. under PHRI Properties patent rights / biomérieux S.A.
