PATHFAST™ TYPE E – Precision at the Point-of-Care

PATHFAST™ TYPE E is a highly precise, fast and compact chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer designed for confident decision-making at the point of care. It combines laboratory-quality results with a space-saving footprint, making it suitable for laboratories, hospitals and medical offices – wherever fast quantitative results are needed.

With six parallel channels and single-use reagent cartridges, PATHFAST™ enables flexible testing workflows and supports rapid differential diagnosis using whole blood, plasma or serum (and LAM extract / sputum for the TB LAM Ag test).

PATHFAST™ TYPE E overview

Designed for confidence, built for speed

PATHFAST™ delivers lab-quality testing in a practical 3-step workflow: load sample into the cartridge, place the rack into the analyzer, start the assay – and obtain results fast. This supports rapid clinical decisions while the patient is still at the point of care.

  • All-in-one single-use cartridges (no additional reagents required)
  • Up to 6 samples or parameters per run
  • Fast results: typically <17 minutes for 6 samples (e.g., critical care / sepsis markers)
  • Sample types: whole blood, plasma, serum (and LAM extract / sputum for TB LAM Ag)
Simple sample-to-result workflow
Modern design for enhanced usability

Modern design for enhanced usability

TYPE E is built for daily efficiency: a large touchscreen for intuitive operation, practical cartridge rack access, and a user-friendly layout for routine work.

  • 8.4-inch LCD touchscreen for an intuitive interface
  • Wide open door for easy cartridge rack access
  • Built-in barcode scanner and integrated printer
  • USB port for data transfer and practical maintenance hatch

Enhanced visibility & monitoring

A three-color indicator visible from 360 degrees makes it easy to check analyzer status from across the room – supporting smooth workflows in busy environments.

This improves operational awareness and helps teams respond quickly when attention is needed.

Principle & precision

PATHFAST™ combines chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay technology (CLEIA) with Magtration® technology to support high accuracy and precision with small sample volumes.

Whole blood, plasma and serum are supported and processed efficiently to deliver reproducible results that correlate strongly with laboratory analyses.
