Overview

The BioXC™ 200GX is an affordable approach to continuous or triggered biothreat sampling. It is designed for seamless integration with the Cepheid GeneXpert^® PCR-based pathogen identification system. The innovative design of the BioXC eliminates the need to transfer samples from a collection vial or cartridge into the PCR cartridge, significantly reducing risk of inadvertent human exposure and re-aerosolization of concentrated pathogens.

The approach helps speed up the time from detection to confirmation testing and minimize the risk of human contact with the sample. When a GeneXpert cartridge is placed into the BioXC dispensing chamber, the concentrated liquid fills the vial for subsequent analysis.

By automatically dispensing the liquid into the cartridge, the BioXC eliminates the time consuming and costly process of transfering the sample manually with a pipette. No additional fluidics are required.

The BioXC may also be integrated with the ICx Technologies AirSentinel^® to create a trigger-based biothreat detection system. The AirSentinel would trigger the BioXC to take a sample only under threatening conditions, rather than continuously, thus reducing the costs of consumables.

BioXC uses our patented rotating impactor technology. This unique air-sweep approach allows high-volume samples with low power requirements and reduced risk of re-aerosolization relative to wetwalled cyclones.

BioXC isolates the air sample into the GeneXpert cartridge. The auto-dispense feature offers a safe and simple approach to sample collection. To initiate the testing sequence, remove the cartridge from the dispensing station and place it into the GeneXpert analyzer.
