Features & Benefits
The Rapid Capture® System offers enhanced productivity, performance and simplicity to the laboratory:

To enhance lab PRODUCTIVITY, the Rapid Capture® System:

  • Provides high throughput
    • – Over 350 results per 6.5–hour run.
  • Reduces labor for preparation of samples collected in ThinPrep® (Cytyc Corp.) medium
    • – Provides 3.5 hours of hands–free operation.
    • – Offers bar–coding capability.
    • – Reduces potential transcription errors, using LIS connectivity to ensure smooth interface with existing hospital information systems.
  • Incorporates multi–specimen tube (MST) conversion process into the procedure
    • – Allows conversion racks to be placed directly on the Rapid Capture System platform.
    • – Minimizes repetitive motion steps by vortexing racks holding 96 samples, rather than individual samples.
    • – Reduces labor up to 35% for preparation of ThinPrep® samples.
  • Accommodates multiple sample types and test methods
    • – ThinPrep Pap test samples can be used for HPV testing.*
    • – Used with the DML 2000 Luminometer, reports both CT and GC results from same sample, saving time and resources.
    • – Avoids need to collect separate specimens.
  • Consolidates the workstation
    • – Eliminates the need for separate work areas, unidirectional work flow and dedicated, amplicon–free lab space.
  • Eliminates the need to mitigate contamination or inhibition

To maximize PERFORMANCE, the Rapid Capture® System:

  • Provides clinical sensitivity equivalent to target–amplification systems.
  • Has less potential for false positives caused by cross–contamination, avoiding costly follow–up procedures.
  • Reduces potential for false negatives caused by enzymatic inhibition.
  • Provides a separate luminometer system that interprets signal–amplified results from a chemiluminescent reaction

To improve SIMPLICITY, the Rapid Capture® System:

  • Uses intuitive software which makes it easy to set up and learning easy
  • Uses the Digene DNA collection device for one–step sample preparation
  • Is ideal for HPV, CT and GC testing
  • Accommodates multiple bar–code formats
  • Facilitates workstation consolidation
