The Xpressor is a filtration with capping device designed to make oral fluid sample preparation faster, safer and more consistent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cXpressor reflects our belief that meaningful progress in oral fluid testing begins by improving the steps that happen before analysis,\u201d said \u00a0Alps Dx cofounder, CEO and president Ali Safavi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many laboratories still rely on squeezing swabs by hand. This involves changing gloves between samples, transferring material into new tubes and running time-consuming centrifugation procedures. Each of these steps adds variation and creates opportunities for contamination, wasted consumables and sample loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPreanalytical handling has historically been one of the most time-intensive and inconsistent stages of oral fluid testing,\u201d said Alps Dx cofounder and CSO Dr Les Edinboro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cXpressor was created to give laboratories a straightforward way to reduce manual, error-prone steps and protect sample integrity without altering established workflows. By allowing filtration to occur within the original collection tube, we are helping laboratories operate with greater consistency and confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xpressor streamlines the preparation process into two steps. The technician opens the tube and inserts the Xpressor filter and cap. This method reduces the amount of handling required and produces a more consistent level of sample clarity, according to Alps Dx.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laboratories using Xpressor have reported fewer glove changes, lower contamination risk, improved traceability of the original chain-of-custody tube and a reduction in time spent processing each sample.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xpressor was designed for forensic and clinical toxicology laboratories, where traditional handling methods are still prevalent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oral fluid testing company Alps Dx has released the Xpressor at ADLM 2026.
