The Procleix Panther System is an integrated nucleic acid testing system which fully automates all steps necessary to perform Procleix assays from sample processing through amplification, detection, and data reduction. The Procleix assays are qualitative and/or quantitative in vitro nucleic acid amplification tests for the detection of pathogenic viruses in human specimens, as defined in the assay package insert.
An electrically-powered automated or semi-automated laboratory instrument intended to amplify target deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) in a clinical specimen at a constant (isothermal) temperature, using a series of transcription and reverse transcription reactions, and to detect and/or identify the amplified product using oligonucleotide markers as it is produced (e.g., in real-time).
