Hologic Panther Scalable Solutions

Hologic launched new products in the US and Europe within its Panther Scalable Solutions portfolio, in which the firm's molecular diagnostic Panther system functions as the foundation for optional add-ons. The add-on components include Panther Fusion, which launched in 2016 and provides additional IVD menu and an Open Access functionality; Panther Plus and Panther Link, which are now available; and Panther Trax, which is in development.

With Panther Plus, labs can load more consumables directly on the instrument, allowing up to 13.5 consecutive hours of walk-away time. Panther Link is a software solution that provides additional efficiencies by creating a virtual connection that allows multiple Panther instruments to communicate with one another and function within a singular, streamlined workflow. Panther Trax is being developed to physically and electronically link multiple Panther instruments into a single workcell.
