Instrument shall be FDA approved, CLIA Moderately Complex, fully-integrated and an automated analysis instrument that uses a Random Access Platform for nucleic acid analysis for the rapid detection of MRSA from patient specimens. Flexibility is required for future expansion of testing, using the same instrumentation footprint; to include, but not be limited to, MRSA NxG, Xpress Flu/RSV, MTB/RIF, Carba-R and Xpress Strep A. System should be able to run individual samples without the need for batching. System must use unprepared samples with little or no preparation time (measured in minutes).
