DAVIS, Calif. - Californer -- Gold Standard Diagnostics Launches AIX1000 2.1® with Extra High Titer RPR Testing and Enhanced Workflow Features

Gold Standard Diagnostics is proud to announce the release of AIX1000® Version 2.1, a major upgrade to its flagship RPR automation platform. This release introduces extra high titer capability, now supporting screens and titers up to 1:2048, a breakthrough in syphilis detection and treatment monitoring—especially for late-stage and Neurosyphilis cases.

The expanded titer range empowers laboratories to more accurately track antibody levels over time, improving clinical decision-making and supporting public health initiatives focused on syphilis control and eradication.

This AIX1000® 2.1 upgrade is the first and only FDA cleared automated test system to meet the 2024 CDC Laboratory Recommendations for Syphilis Testing "Recommendation for endpoint titers. Endpoint titers (the highest dilution yielding a reactive result) should be determined and clearly reported when testing serum with nontreponemal (lipoidal antigen) assays that detect antibodies to lipoidal antigens (i.e., rapid plasma reagin and Venereal Disease Research Laboratory).^1"
