1. How does the reader work?

The reader measures light intensity through the combination of LEDs and a spectrometric sensor. The smartphone app acts as a User Interface, guiding the user in taking the correct steps. Data is sent to the mobile app and then to the cloud, where our mathematical models process the data and return a result.

2. Why manual extraction?

Using a manual extraction method, rather than a motorized extraction, helps the device to be cost-effective, while maintaining the repeatibility and sensitivity of a motorized device. The raw data captured by the sensor is processed by our algorithms so that speed is not an influential variable.

3. How can I test the reader?

Before testing the reader, we need to design an adaptor tray for each cassette. Once the cassette is designed and 3D-printed, there are 2 choices to proceed with calibration. 1. Sending 100 tests with positive control for calibration and an independent validation at a third-party lab. This procedure is official and the results can be used for regulatory purposes. 2. If samples can´t be sent to Qassay, a few sample readers will be sent for a remote callibration to your facilites. Complete the form to contact our sales team.

4. Which functionalities does the cloud platform have?

Qassay´s cloud platform enables companies to manage their devices, tests, batches and users more efficiently. The platform is built on AWS and it has a REST API to integrate with third-party applications.

5. Is the reader reusable?

The reader is fully reusable, as it has a USB-C rechargeable battery.

6. What is the regulatory status of the Qassay lateral flow reader?

The Qassay Lateral Flow Reader is CE marked under the CE-746 IVDR, as a Class A instrument

1. What is a Lateral Flow test?

A lateral flow test is a simple and rapid diagnostic test used to detect the presence or absence of a target substance, such as a specific antigen or antibody, in a liquid sample. These tests are often used for medical diagnosis, home pregnancy tests, and various other applications. Lateral flow tests are designed to be easy to use and provide quick results, typically within a few minutes.

2. Why use a Lateral Flow Reader?

Many lateral flow tests, require an instrument to provide a quantitative measurement. Other tests, while qualitative, improve their usability when using an instrument, so that there is no effort from the user for line recognition. Moreover, digitizing results of these tests can make a difference in the remote monitoring of chronic patients or epidemics.

3. What can be measured with Qassay?

There is a wide range of biomarkers that can be measured with Qassay, from cardiovascular diseases to lifestyle markers such as Vitamin D, Ferritin and various hormones. Other notable applications are infectious diseases, metabolic diseases, fertility and much more.

4. Which functionalities does the cloud platform have?

Qassay´s cloud platform enables companies to manage their devices, tests, batches and users more efficiently. The platform is built on AWS and it has a REST API to integrate with 3rd party applications.

5. Is the reader reusable?

The reader is fully reusable, as it has a USB-C rechargeable battery.

6. Which is the regulatory status of the Qassay lateral flow reader?
