Digene’s Rapid Capture® system menu, which includes CT and GC testing, now includes high-risk HPV testing on the system’s consolidated platform. With its intuitive software, the system is easy to set up and operate. Using the Rapid Capture system, 352 patient specimens can be processed by one technologist in 6.5 hours with 3.5 hours of hands-free operation. As testing volumes increase, one technologist can easily operate two Rapid Capture sytems simultaneously, further increasing productivity.

The Rapid Capture system fits on a standard benchtop, eliminating the need for separate work areas. The system also provides barcode capabilities and LIS interface connectivity. When the system is combined with the company’s multi-specimen tube conversion protocol, 88 residual ThinPrep® PreservCyt® specimens can be prepared and processed at one time, reducing the labor required for these tests by as much as 35%.
