Syndromic Testing

Supporting improved healthcare

Faster, evidence-based diagnosis

Multiplex PCR syndromic testing with QIAstat-Dx has the potential to revolutionize infectious disease diagnostics. These tests can deliver results for several pathogens in about an hour and require just a single patient sample. QIAstat-Dx syndromic testing is helping infectious disease experts supply better care to their patients across the globe.

"You have to test everything if you want to find everything"

Watch the video to hear why Dr. Benoit Visseaux from Bichat-Claude Bernard Hospital says a more flexible and comprehensive solution for multiplex PCR testing is needed.

Preserve antibiotics and save on costs

"In one hour we can introduce the treatment … it will change our habits in prescriptions, saving money, saving on antibiotics and treatment side effects"

Replace out-dated microbiology methods

"Only an accessible, fast, sensitive and broad diagnostic tool provides the opportunity to influence therapeutic decisions. Rapid diagnostic systems for the detection of pathogens are very promising tools, as the results can influence therapy decisions and infection control in a short period of time. We’ve found it can replace conventional microbiology in many cases."

Increase diagnostic accuracy and yield
"We've found the QIAstat-Dx [respiratory panel] easy to work with and it provides quick results. The QIAstat-Dx panel can support a comprehensive, evidence-based diagnosis, which is particularly important for our patients. Compared to traditional microbiology methods, syndromic testing has allowed us to achieve a better diagnostic yield and diagnostic accuracy."

Get urgent results for acutely ill patients

"The QIAstat-Dx panels have been proven to be useful and crucial for emergency doctors to make an accurate diagnosis for patients presenting to the emergency department. The results give us a better understanding of the patient’s course of disease and enable us to formulate the best treatment plans for our patients."

Perform tests quickly and easily

"We have chosen QIAstat-Dx because we can access the Ct [values] and the amplification curves. It was mandatory for me to have access to Ct values and amplification curves… It's a one-step quick preparation of the sample. It’s easy to learn and then be used 24 hours a day."

Easily access Ct values

"An advantage of the QIAstat-Dx is the availability of Ct [values]. When we have a positive result for a virus, we need to perform the viral load but we need time. We need 4, 5, 6 hours. In these cases, it’s important to have an indication of the Ct. And now clinicians, after SARS-CoV-2, understand very well what the Ct is. For coronavirus, they often ask what is the Ct? The indication of the Ct is very, very important."

Get more than a yes or no answer

"We do have questions from clinicians from time to time when the pathogen detected is a surprise. It’s nice to have as much information as possible regarding the sample, especially in those cases where it’s a surprise finding. With QIAstat-Dx, now we can actually give them additional information."
