hello,
we have been using ID Now instruments for our rapid molecular detection of the common respiratory viruses and bacteria for years. Recently, we have received few requests from our providers to evaluate any other options in the world for 1 swab = 4 results (if possible). We have looked on Biofire (1 throat swab - Flu, RSV (yes from the throat swab), StrepA, Human Rhinovirus), Cobas Liat (few combos), and Cepheid (1NP swab=Covid, FLu,RSV). There are some pro and cons on all of them and we made a comparison table. Do you mind sharing if you have been using any other CLIA Waived/Interfaced platforms for rapid molecular tests? Also, would you mind sharing your experience with Biofire, Cobas Liat, Cepheid or ID Now. What do you like and what would you wish to change?
Any input or response is appreciated. Thank you for your time in advance.
