Q-POC: Compact, Reliable, and Fast Multiplex Diagnostics
Designed for precision and efficiency, the Q-POC sets the standard for point-of-care diagnostics.
Why Choose Q-POC
A supercharged platform, with a fast workflow
It is no longer necessary to wait hours or days for test results. The Q-POC™ platform compresses an entire molecular diagnostics laboratory into a single device requiring less than three minutes hands-on-time, with results in as little as 30 minutes.
1 min — Collect a swab.
20 sec — Transfer sample into cassette. Residual sample remains for reflex testing.
~ 30 mins — Insert into Q-POC™ and test will run automatically.
30 secs — Review, print results.
A smooth user experience with an intuitive interface
The Q-POC™ platform has been engineered to limit the need for highly skilled operators. The software is designed with the simplicity and familiarity of smartphone and tablet interfaces. Each test requires only three minutes hands-on-time to get your test started, using easy to follow, guided workflows on the touch screen.
A ready to use solution, with all its simplicity, accuracy and speed
The Q-POC™ requires no calibration or preventive maintenance. Each test cassette contains all the necessary reagents to complete a test and can be stored and shipped at room temperature. Just load the cassette and press go.
A ton of tech behind every result, with intelligent multilingual software algorithms.
Clear, simple test results are automatically generated by sophisticated software algorithms, removing any complicated interpretation of the result. The Q-POC™ software has been designed with the user in mind and uses intuitive, user centric software design similar to a smartphone allowing clear and easy reporting.
A huge leap in rapid multiplex PCR testing, with a small, portable, battery-operated system
The Q-POC™ platform has been developed with features to take molecular testing outside of the laboratory. Its compact design, as well as its internal lithium-ion battery, supports use in a wide variety of clinical settings, at the Point of Care.

Q-POC FAQs
What is PCR?
PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction. It’s a test that finds tiny amounts of genetic material from viruses or bacteria in a sample.
How does PCR work?
PCR makes lots of copies of genetic material so it can be spotted more easily. It’s a way to check if a virus or bacteria is in a person’s sample, even in small amounts.
What is real-time PCR?
Real-time PCR shows the results as the test runs. It means you can get results faster, see how much of a virus or bacteria is present, and make quicker treatment decisions for patients.
What is multiplex PCR?
Multiplex PCR can test for more than one infection at the same time, all in one go. They save time and help find out what’s causing someone’s symptoms without needing to go to a hospital or laboratory.
What is point-of-care testing?
Point-of-care testing means doing tests where the patient is, instead of transporting them or sending samples to a lab. It helps healthcare professionals make faster decisions.
What are point-of-care testing devices?
These are small, easy-to-use machines like Q-POC™ that give fast results in places like clinics, ambulances, or mobile health units.
How does Q-POC™ support rapid diagnostics?
Q-POC™ gives fast, accurate results in around 30 minutes, to help healthcare providers start treatment sooner and avoid delays.
Can Q-POC™ help reduce global health disparities?
Yes. Q-POC™ can be used in places with limited access to labs or healthcare, helping more people get tested and treated quickly, no matter where they live.
