Sepsis Identification

T2Dx® Instrument

Breakthrough Technology Enabling Direct Detection from Whole Blood

DiaSorin ETI Max3000The FDA-cleared T2Dx® Instrument from T2 Biosystems is a fully automated, walk-away, random-access, clinical multiplex benchtop diagnostic system capable of running tests directly from whole blood that enhances sepsis management with rapid, actionable species identification.

Delivering T2Direct Diagnostics™, the first and only FDA-cleared, CE-marked system to identify deadly sepsis-causing pathogens (for 92% of infections due to deadly ESKAPE pathogens and the most common fungal infections) directly in whole blood—without the need to wait for blood culture results—provides faster results in 3 to 5 hours with a sensitivity greater than 90%.

   T2Direct Diagnostics Brochure       How the T2Dx Instrument Works 

The benefits of the T2Dx Instrument include:

  • Rapid results: Species-specific results in 3 to 5 hours with no up-front sample preparation.
  • Easy to operate: Fully automated system with minimal hands-on time; a sample tube and a reagent tray snap onto a cartridge, which is then inserted into the instrument.
  • Performs with 4 mL whole blood: No blood culture is required to receive T2 identification results for targeted pathogens.
  • Random access: 7 individual, random access drawers can be loaded at any time. No batching is required.
  • Simple user interface: User-friendly touchscreen display provides step-by-step text and illustrative prompts that guide the operator to load a sample, all in 10 minutes or less.
  • One instrument, multiple tests: The T2Dx Instrument runs the FDA-cleared T2Bacteria and T2Candida Panels as well as the T2SARS-CoV-2 Panel, which was awarded Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the FDA.

The T2Dx Instrument serves nearly 200 hospitals worldwide and is powered by T2 Magnetic Resonance  (T2MR®)  technology:

T2Bacteria Panel

95.8% Sensitivity | 98.2% Specificity

Enhance the standard of care for sepsis — by detecting bloodstream infections sooner

The T2Bacteria® Panel is the first and only FDA-cleared and CE-marked panel to detect five clinically relevant bacterial pathogens in 3 to 5 hours, directly from a whole blood sample. 

E. faecium, S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli represent the majority of bacteremia seen in the emergency department and those causing hospital-acquired infections. In addition, several of these species are known as ESKAPE pathogens, characterized as virulent and difficult to treat with empiric antimicrobial therapy, making faster species identification and targeted treatment critical to improving patient outcomes.

T2Candida Panel

91.1% Sensitivity | 99.4% Specificity

Enhance the standard of care for sepsis — by detecting bloodstream infections sooner

The T2Candida® Panel is the first and only FDA-cleared diagnostic test for the detection of sepsis-causing fungal pathogens, direct from whole blood. Species identification is provided within 3 to 5 hours of the first blood draw and independent of a positive blood culture, often before the second dose of antimicrobials is administered. 

T2Candida Panel includes Candida albicansCandida tropicalisCandida kruseiCandida glabrata, and Candida parapsilosis.

T2Resistance Panel

The first direct-from-blood detection of resistance markers

Addressing the unmet need for faster detection of antimicrobial resistance

The T2Resistance® Panel is designed for the direct-from-blood detection of antibiotic resistance genes associated with sepsis-causing pathogens. The Panel detects many of the resistance mechanisms described in the 2019 CDC Urgent Threat list. In 2019, the FDA granted “Breakthrough Device” designation for the T2Resistance Panel, reflecting the purpose of the panel to rapidly identify resistant infections.

T2Resistance Panel includes: Gram-negative markers; KPC, OXA-48 Group, NDM /VIM/IMP, CTX-M 14/15 AmpC(CMY/DHA) and Gram-positive markers vanA/B mecA/C

Molecular Mouse

Qualitative and fast analysis of DNA and RNA targets through real-time PCR

ALIFAX MoleculaMouseThe Molecular Mouse system from ALIFAX is the world’s first handheld platform for Real-Time PCR.

The largest Sepsis panel, with 64 different targets, for the rapid detection of microorganisms of major clinical relevance and their antibiotic resistance genes, starting from positive blood cultures. Rapid results in about 1 HOUR.

Ready-to-use lab-on-chip cartridges, with all lyophilized reagents in each micro-well, it is possible to perform up to 6 simultaneous multiplex reactions and up to 6 instruments can be managed independently with one software session.
