Discover the life inside the BD COR™ System
Delivering efficiency, flexibility, and performance to meet your laboratories' evolving molecular diagnostic needs. The BD COR™ System uses multiplex PCR assay design and requires less than 1 hour of daily hands-on time for the full BD COR™ system workflow and only 2 interactions.
Efficiency
- Fully integrated automation from specimen to result
- Minimal interaction required to maintain a high level of system throughput
- Up to 330 sample results on the BD COR™ GX instrument and 1248 sample results on the BD COR™ MX dual instrument configuration when consumables are fully reloaded to get 2 shifts of results with 1 shift of work
Performance
- Modular and scalable to deliver needed throughput and overall system output
- Remote monitoring with internal cameras and built-in redundancy to maximise uptime
- Multiplex PCR assay design supports accurate diagnostics
Flexibility
- Distinct instrument configurations based on your laboratory’s workflow needs through robust laboratory assessments
- Random and continuous access that requires less than 1 hour of daily hands-on time for the full BD COR™ workflow with only 2 interactions
- Ability to use different collection types depending on the assay being run – BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test, Hologic ThinPrep® Pap Test, BD Molecular Swab Collection Kit, and BD Molecular Urine Transport Kit
BD COR™ System Products
- Enhances laboratory operations and patient management with advanced molecular diagnostics capabilities
- Delivers efficiency, flexibility and performance to meet laboratories evolving molecular diagnostic needs.
- Provides complete chain of custody and is the only high throughput fully integrated pre-analytical and analytical system on the market.
The GX Instrument is an HPV analytical instrument that automates the BD Onclarity™ HPV Assay with extended genotyping, requiring minimum interactions per shift at maximum throughput.
Minimal time at the instrument
- Less than 15 minutes to fully load instrument
- Remote system management and alert capabilities
- High capacity for reagents, consumables, samples and system waste
Extended walk-away time and maximum throughput
- Approximately 7 hours of walk-away time at maximum throughput
- Up to 180 HPV samples with extended genotyping without user intervention
- Ready-to-use barcoded reagents stored at room temperature
The PX Instrument* automates preanalytical steps to simplify and standardise workflows, reducing staff interaction and maximising walk-away time.
Complete pre-analytic automation
- Automatically converts, vortexes, uncaps, aliquots, and recaps LBC vials
- Preforms all necessary prewarming and cooling steps
Integrated
- Automatically delivers sample to analytical instruments
