T2Dx
T2Dx is a fully automated, clinical multiplex, benchtop, in vitro diagnostics instrument capable of running diagnostic panels directly from whole blood samples. It uses T2 magnetic resonance (T2MR) technology to detect pathogen DNA directly from whole blood samples by measuring how much water molecules react in the presence of magnetic fields.
