In this blog series we will explore multi-targets panels- looking at the applicable use cases, the advantages and the drawbacks of these assays. These panels are designed to simultaneously test for multiple genetic markers across a variety of pathogens. By amplifying different pathogens in a single assay, or multiple targets within the same pathogen, the panels improve detection rates, reduce time to results, and ensure accurate treatment.

Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox), a virus that has long been endemic in parts of Africa, is now the focus of global concern following a surge in cases and the WHO’s declaration of mpox as a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern." The new strain of mpox that has emerged is reportedly more easily transmitted in a wider range of ways, including through close physical contact, sexual contact and through respiratory secretions.
