NeuMoDx Molecular Extraction-Only Software for NeuMoDx 288 and 96 Systems

Jun 08, 2020

NeuMoDx Molecular has launched new software for the NeuMoDx 288 and 96 Molecular Systems to assist in faster nucleic acid extractions. This new software is 'extraction only,' allowing users to extract DNA and RNA from approximately 200 and 400 samples within an eight-hour period, respectively. Operators of NeuMoDx's systems are able to continuously load patient samples with random access and receive results within approximately one hour.
