ADEXUS Dx
Blood is Better
ADEXUS Dx is a next generation whole blood hCG test. ADEXUS Dx is indicated as an aid for health care professionals in the diagnosis of early pregnancy.
ADEXUS Dx can detect hCG in a single drop of whole blood, serum, or plasma sooner than urine-based hCG tests*, without additional reagents or materials. ADEXUS Dx is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay that delivers results in only 10 minutes.
The ADEXUS Dx advantage
Accurate
- >99% sensitivity and specificity¹
- Reduced exposure to liability from false negatives²
Efficient
- Results in 10 minutes, no waiting on urine samples
- Increased patient throughput
Easy-to-Use
- No reagents or buffers
- Decreased potential for user error
- Uses capillary blood, plasma or serum
Where to use ADEXUS Dx
- Surgeries/ Procedures: Any procedure that could be harmful to a developing foetus.
- Emergency Rooms: When patients are unconscious, dehydrated, or unable to urinate
on their own. - Radiology: Some radiology treatments can inadvertedly harm or abort the foetus.

* Based on our cutoff, pregnancy can be detected at 10 mIU/mL. Depending on the woman and the pregnancy, this can be days earlier than urine-based hCG tests.

2. In a March 2015 report in Clinical Chemistry, Robert N. Nerenz and Ann M. Gronowski detailed their evaluation of 11 common POC hCG urine-based devices and determined that 9 of the 11 were susceptible to false-negative results.
