High quality diagnostic testing is important for transplant patients at every step of the process. It is used to help assess donor-recipient compatibility, prevent and/or control infection, and adapt immunosuppressive therapy as necessary. Transplant patient care is complicated – patients are at risk for a wide range of viral infections, and various different sample types may be used. The ARGENE® SOLUTION was designed to provide the Power of One to cut down on complication and meet transplant testing needs. Reliable, same-day results support clinicians make better treatment decisions for more successful recoveries for transplant patients.

Maximize your efficiency

The ARGENE® SOLUTION brings together a single standardized workflow, reliable extraction reagents and real-time PCR assays. This allows you to better organize your daily routine to deliver accurate same day results – contributing to positive outcomes for transplant patients.  

The Power of One:

  • One single standardized extraction workflow for all samples
  • One unique set of extraction reagents for all sample types
  • One common internal control allowing multi-target detection on one single eluate
  • One harmonized pipetting and PCR protocol

 

Leverage true flexibility

The ARGENE® SOLUTION offers you a unique modular system approach that allows you to better manage your daily transplant testing routine through flexible batching.

  • Mixing various sample types in one extraction run using one single standardized workflow for all samples
  • Flexible input/elution volume per sample within the same extraction run
  • Primary and lysed samples managed within the same extraction run
  • Multiple target detection from one extracted sample
