The company is also looking to launch a variation of their Access Cortisol test, which they have received approval for, with this one measuring steroid hormones in a few different bodily fluids.

Finally, another Danaher subsidiary, Cepheid, has been given the green light for the Xpert FII & FV assay. This uses a qualitative method to assess genetic structure and identify factor II and factor V alleles to help diagnose thrombophilia. In addition to being approved for use on GeneXpert Dx, it is also approved to work alongside Cepheid GeneXpert Infinity products.
