Gen-Probe Inc. (GPRO) Tuesday said the US Food and Drug Administration has cleared its PANTHER system, a fully automated and integrated molecular testing platform designed with the flexibility to handle a wide range of testing needs.

According to the company, using this system, a single operator can process 275 samples in eight hours.
Gen-Probe will begin shipments of PANTHER systems to US customers during the second quarter.
