Current industry standards frequently force technicians to manually squeeze swabs, cycle through multiple glove changes, and perform time-consuming centrifugation. These traditional methods introduce variability and increase the risk of sample loss. Xpressor addresses these pain points by allowing filtration to occur directly within the original collection tube, a design choice intended to protect sample integrity without requiring labs to overhaul their established protocols.

Alps Dx Unveils Xpressor Filtration System for Oral Fluid Testing
Toxicology laboratories often struggle with manual sample preparation, a bottleneck prone to contamination and error. At the 2026 ADLM Annual Meeting, Richmond-based Alps Dx will introduce Xpressor, a filtration and capping device engineered to automate these early-stage handling requirements and standardize sample clarity across forensic and clinical workflows.
Les Edinboro, co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Alps Dx, noted that the system streamlines the preparation process into two distinct steps: opening the tube and inserting the filter-cap assembly. Early studies indicate that this shift reduces consumable waste and improves chain-of-custody traceability. Alongside this launch, the company will showcase its Atelier automated processing platform, a subscription-based system designed to scale high-throughput diagnostic operations without necessitating heavy upfront capital investment. Together, these tools represent a broader effort to modernize the preanalytical continuum in oral fluid testing.
