What is cepheid: Definition and 1 Discussions

Cepheid is an American molecular diagnostics company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Danaher Corporation. Its systems automate traditional nucleic acid tests (tests for specific sequences of DNA or RNA). The tests can be used to identify and analyze pathogens and genetic disorders. Cepheid sells clinical tests for healthcare-associated infections, infectious diseases, sexual health, oncology and genetics.
The cartridges used in Cepheid's testing machines are single-use and must be bought from the manufacturer. The company has been accused of profiteering, particularly in developing countries, by pricing the cartridges at many times the cost of production, and engaging in price discrimination.

    I How would I find data on the Luminosity of Cepheid variables?

    Hi, I'm doing a project on Calculating the Hubble tension, and I had some trouble finding the Luminosity to period values of Cepheid variables in sites like Simbad and etc. I was wondering if I could get data or would I have to make them myself?
