Detecting SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)
Detecting SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) from up to 5 Pooled Samples Simultaneously
- Detection from real-time PCR via Nasopharyngeal and/or Oropharyngeal swab
- Up to 5 patient samples may be pooled and added to a single cartridge targeting the E gene sequence
- The SARS-CoV-2 pooling test has recently received CE marking
- Simple and easy to use POC analyser with a small footprint making it suitable for use in laboratory and non-laboratory settings
- Rapid turnaround from sample entry to result, capable of testing up to 160 samples a day
- Convenient 4 step process from sample entry to results. No laboratory training required
Clinical Significance
SARS-CoV-2 Pooling (COVID-19) is a rapid real time PCR test cartridge, providing clear and concise results in a timely manner, direct at the point of care. This enables the patient to take the recommended safety precautions without delay. The pooling could be done at the level of a ward, medical speciality, social bubble, or group of colleagues. It has potential for use in other settings, such as pre-operative screening, schools and universities, prisons, nursing homes, primary care, and large workplaces. Sample pooling allows more people to be tested quickly using fewer testing resources.
In collaboration with Bosch, we are proud to release not only a rapid testing solution for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) but an accelerated mass testing solution to effectively and efficiently monitor and detect viral infection from the offset with an aim of minimising the rise in infections globally. The new SARS-CoV-2 pooling test will allow users to test up to 160 samples a day and has sensitivity of 98% and a specificity of 100% – a world’s first!* Highly sensitive assays allow for laboratories to accurately detect low positive samples, enabling for effective identification of positive COVID-19 cases in a timely manner.
* Detailed information on the determination of analytical performance can be found in instructions for use provided with SARS-CoV-2 pooling kit.

“AWARD-WINNING DESIGN DELIVERS
AN UNCOMPLICATED USER EXPERIENCE”
Vivalytic Workflow
Intuitive engineering of Vivalytic ensures the analyser is user friendly. The process of patient sample to result comprises a very simple 4 step workflow.
To begin the test, the user scans or enters sample information. The cartridge code is then scanned into the embedded Vivalytic software. The user then adds sample into the dedicated cartridge slot, closes the lid and inserts the cartridge into the Vivalytic.
The touchscreen display will countdown the time remaining to test completion. Results will be displayed on the screen. Multiple Vivalytics can be wirelessly connected allowing the user to control multiple tests at one time all reporting to a master Vivalytic platform.
