Abstract The GenMark Dx ePlex Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RP) is a multiplexed nucleic
acid test for the qualitative detection of common viral and a few bacterial causes of
respiratory tract infections. The ePlex RP has received FDA clearance for nasopharyngeal
swab (NPS) specimens collected in viral transport media. In this study, we evaluated the
performance of the ePlex RP panel in comparison to the NxTAG Respiratory Pathogen
Panel (NxTAG-RPP) from Luminex in use in our laboratory, not only for NPS but also for …
