Five respiratory viruses. One TaqPath panel.
Expand your molecular testing menu to include viral targets with high clinical relevance.
The Applied Biosystems TaqPath Respiratory Viral Select Panel is a multiplex, real-time PCR (qPCR) in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test for identifying five common respiratory viruses in under three hours. The CE-IVD panel includes targets for adenovirus, human metapneumovirus, rhinovirus/enterovirus,* and parainfluenza** virus. Pair this panel with the Applied Biosystems TaqPath COVID-19, Flu A/B, RSV Combo Kit to expand your respiratory virus testing menu.
* Rhinovirus/enterovirus are undifferentiated.
** Coverage of parainfluenza virus includes subtypes 1, 2, 3, and 4; undifferentiated.

Learn the importance of testing for common respiratory viruses and how two CE-IVD solutions from Thermo Fisher Scientific can help you get ready for flu season.
Shared symptoms, different viruses
Whether we are experiencing a seasonal surge or a global pandemic, early and accurate diagnosis of respiratory infections can save lives. As more viral pathogens enter the ecosystem, multiplex testing helps provide the accuracy needed to test for multiple viruses with overlapping infection symptoms.
As demand for reliable respiratory testing solutions continues to grow, we can help you catch up to surges in testing. Our robust multiplex assays, combined with high-quality PCR systems, are designed to enable the detection of five respiratory viruses using the same patient sample.

Offering high sensitivity and fast time-to-results, this powerful PCR panel makes it easy and affordable for you to adopt and add targets to your respiratory testing menu. As the technological migration from rapid to molecular testing continues, the need for expanded molecular testing remains beneficial for at-risk populations, including children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. These populations are often at higher risk of severe disease and hospitalization, and need clear answers. PCR testing is designed to deliver accurate results and aid in differential diagnosis, including coinfections, to assist with treatment or other patient management decisions.
