AfricaShield 17-Plex Panel

Features of AfricaShield 17-Plex Panel

• Unmatched Coverage of High-Consequence ThreatsSimultaneously detects 17 critical pathogens, including top-tier epidemic threats such as Ebolavirus spp. and Andes Hantavirus, alongside Marburgvirus, Lassa virus, and other hemorrhagic fevers, arboviruses, parasites, and bacteria relevant to African and global tropical regions.
• Rapid, Life-Saving TurnaroundDelivers actionable results in approximately 1 hour, enabling fast differential diagnosis of suspected cases to support timely patient management, contact tracing, and public health intervention during outbreaks.
• Superior Biosafety & Contamination ControlClosed, single-use reaction pouch eliminates cross-contamination risks, making it safe and reliable for handling highly pathogenic viruses like Ebola and Andes Hantavirus, even in resource-limited or high-containment settings.
• High Sensitivity for Early-Stage DetectionAdvanced molecular technology ensures reliable identification of low pathogen loads, supporting early detection of Ebola, Hantavirus, and other threats before symptoms fully develop, which is critical for stopping transmission chains.
• Streamlined, Single-Test WorkflowReplaces multiple separate assays with one simple test, reducing lab workload, eliminating the need for multiple sample aliquots, and accelerating the path from sample collection to outbreak response.
• Purpose-Built for Outbreak PreparednessOptimized for surveillance, rule-out testing, and rapid response in high-risk scenarios, empowering healthcare systems to stay ahead of emerging threats like Ebola and Andes Hantavirus and contain outbreaks before they spread.
