These capabilities allow for faster species identification, enabling the potential for faster targeted treatment, de-escalation of empiric therapy and improved patient outcomes. <br \/>All T2Direct DiagnosticsTM panels are run on the T2Dx<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Instrument using a patient\u2019s blood sample with validated clinical sensitivity of 91 to 96% and specificity of 98 to 99%. The direct from blood capability is enabled by the proprietary T2MR-powered T2Dx<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Instrument which can detect organisms at concentrations as low as 1 CFU\/mL. This represents a thousandfold increase in sensitivity compared to products that detect species from positive blood culture bottles where the number of cells is typically in the range of 10,000 to 10,000,000 CFUs\/mL.<br \/>T2 Biosystems recently received FDA Breakthrough Designation for the T2ResistanceTM Panel, a diagnostic panel that can detect 13 resistance genes from both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens from a single patient blood sample in 3 to 5 hours. The T2Resistance Panel is also run on the T2Dx instrument and is expected to be CE-marked and available in Europe by the end of 2019, and offered as a Research Use Only product in the United States before yearend. &nbsp;<br \/>\nT2 Biosystems will showcase its latest innovations at ECCMID at Booth #1.22. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>Supplier:<\/strong> T2 Biosystems<br \/>\n<strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"avia-button avia-color-theme-color\" href=\"mailto:info@t2biosystems.com\">Mail the supplier<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T2 Biosystems\u2019 T2Bacteria\u00ae and T2Candida\u00ae Panels are the first and only FDA-cleared and CE-marked tests that identify the most serious bacterial and fungal pathogens directly from blood sample in just three to five hours, without waiting for a positive blood culture \u2014which can take one to six or more days.
