Rethinking Right

Right for all patients is not the same as right for each patient. Crafting a plan for the highest quality care is nothing if you can’t execute it. Hologic® syndromic testing assays and the Panther® System are the products of thoughtful design, optimizing the diagnostic process to deliver the best results rapidly and responsibly.

Just Right

When providers confront non-specific symptoms, molecular testing can help clarify critical care decisions with diagnostic insight. 

While traditional testing methods can be costly, cumbersome and consume precious time, comprehensive, one-size-fits-all solutions often use unnecessary resources.

The right path for each case is not the right path for every case.

Choosing Hologic helps give you the choice of how to treat each patient. Hologic syndromic testing empowers diagnostic stewardship: the thoughtful application of resources on a case-by-case basis.

Benefits of Syndromic Testing

The Right Patient

Laboratory tests are the foundation of our healthcare system. Providers rely on insights from lab tests to make critical care decisions. Hologic® syndromic tests are optimized to deliver high-quality results rapidly for every patient and tailored to each patient. No matter the volume of your lab, every sample represents the most important patient.

By the Numbers 


Diagnostic laboratory testing is a vast and essential component of our healthcare system and is expected to grow.10,11 Despite heavy usage, care is still not being optimized.9 Testing solutions tailored to individual needs let you care for each patient and deliver for every patient.
