m-PIMA Analyzer
Abbott

Solution Overview & Benefits
The m-PIMA™ Analyzer (formerly known as the PIMA™ CD4 Analyzer) is designed to provide rapid, reliable diagnostics in resource-limited and remote settings. Originally developed for HIV CD4 testing, it has evolved to support multiple assays with lab-comparable accuracy.
Key Benefits:
- Rapid Results: Delivers results in approximately 20 minutes, improving same-day clinical decision-making.
- Portability: Lightweight and battery-powered, ideal for mobile clinics and off-grid locations.
- Ease of Use: Simple interface and sample collection; minimal training required.
- Multiplex Testing: Supports multiple assays on a single device (HIV-1/2 detection, EID, and more).
- Data Connectivity: Includes connectivity options for data transfer and remote monitoring.
- Proven Track Record: Used in over 50 countries to support HIV programs and other health priorities.
History & Development
The m-PIMA Analyzer was developed by Alere, a company focused on point-of-care diagnostics, and later acquired by Abbott. It emerged as a solution to close diagnostic gaps in rural and underserved regions, particularly for HIV care. Since its launch, it has become widely adopted by ministries of health and global health organizations, including PEPFAR, WHO, and UNICEF, and has expanded beyond CD4 testing to support broader diagnostics.
