SARS-CoV-2 Assay

Rapid COVID-19 PCR testing at the Point of Care

Navigating the COVID-19 pandemic is challenging. There are many reasons rapid PCR testing may be needed – such as to travel, undergo scheduled or unscheduled medical procedures, attend a workplace and many more. This can be stressful for the individual and complex for testing providers.

From collecting samples to reading results, the Q-POC™ SARS-CoV-2 assay has been developed considering patient and user experience at every step of the COVID-19 testing process. The test delivers rapid PCR results in approximately 30 minutes at the Point of Care, on the accurate and portable Q-POC™ platform.

As simple as performing lateral flow tests

The Q-POC™ SARS-CoV-2 assay provides quality rapid PCR results at the Point of Care, with the simplicity and hands on time of a lateral flow test. The test is so simple to use and can be run by any trained healthcare professional.

The sealed, self-contained cassette contains all necessary reagents. The time required to prepare the test is under one-minute. The user simply collects a mid-nasal swab sample and tests immediately.

1 min — Collect mid-nasal swab.
20 sec — Transfer sample into cassette.
~ 30 mins — Insert into Q-POC™ and test will run automatically.
30 secs — Review, print results.

Results you can trust and rely on

The Q-POC™ SARS-CoV-2 assay has been developed to be robust against emerging variants. The test is designed with the most up-to-data sequence information to ensure 100% inclusivity of all known SARS-CoV-2 sequences. The test uses three targets (ORF1, N and S genes) to deliver a single, accurate result.

Decisions you can make at first glance

The unique three-gene assay is designed to minimize false positives, giving you the actionable answers you need first time. There is no “indeterminate” result with the Q-POC™ SARS-CoV-2 assay. Results are displayed on-screen as positive, negative or invalid, with no complex or time-consuming interpretation.

Confidence in all your decisions

In-built quality controls automatically run with each test, giving you confidence in results. The test cassettes can be shipped and stored at room temperature without the need for refrigeration. Once the sample is applied and the cap placed on the cartridge, it is fully sealed eliminating the risk of exposure or release of biological hazards.
