Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body’s response to infection damages its own tissues and organs. Sepsis diagnostics today aim to identify the pathogen only and therefore have serious limitations in respect of speed and sensitivity. The Immunexpress SeptiCyte® solution evaluates the host immune response to aid clinicians in quickly and accurately diagnosing sepsis.
About Immunexpress
Immunexpress is a Seattle-based molecular diagnostic company committed to improving outcomes for patients with, or at risk of, sepsis. Immunexpress’s SeptiCyte® technology quantifies directly from whole blood specific molecular markers from the patient’s own immune system the “host response.” Detecting the host’s septic immune response has the potential to identify sepsis earlier and more accurately than current sepsis diagnostics that focus on identifying the invading pathogen. Immunexpress’s pipeline includes monitoring assays for readily available platforms, including point-of-care (POC) sample-to-answer instrumentation. For more information visit www.Immunexpress.com.
