A vet runs a nasal swab form a coughing Labrador, loads it into the tube, and has a definitive parvo or distemper result in under an hour — that’s the workflow this unit was built for, and we’ve seen clinics cut their send-out lab dependency by 70% or so after adopting it.
Every unit we ship goes through a 48-hour burn-in cycle at three tempearture setpoints (55°C, 60°C, and 72°C) with a calibrated reference plate, and we log the uniformity data — typically ±0.5°C across the block — and include that COA with the instrument.
The 8-tube format is easier to handle for a solo practitioner, but most buyers go with the 16-tube option because of that it handles a morning run of samples without a second batch; the 32-tube version is overkill unless you’re running a shelter panel.
We batch-test every lot of 25 units against a known canine parvovirus standerd (≤10 copies/μL detection limit) and hold a retest window of 14 days from dilevery — if the first run doesn’t match the COA, we’ll send a replacement unit and cover return shippng.
Basically, the sensitivity spec matters because a false negative on a feline herpesvirus sample means a cat goes home untreated — so we run triplicate wells on every validation batch and only release if all three hit within 0.3 Ct of each other.
Lead time is usually 20 working days or so, but we’ve had stock on the 8-tube model recently — just confirm before you place the PO because the WiFi module (802.11ac) sometimes gets held up in customs.
Our standard MOQ is 10 units for first-time orders. We can discuss smaller trial quantities if you're a clinic looking to test one or two units first.
Each unit ships with CE and ISO 13485 certification docs, plus a calibration certificate verifying the ±0.3°C temperature accuracy and ≤10 copies/μL sensitivity.
Yes, the 16-tube model accepts 8-tube strips — you don't need to fill every well. Just load the strips you need, and the software will detect them automatically.
Lead time is usually 15-20 business days for orders up to 50 units. Larger orders might take 25-30 days, depending on stock of the optical modules.
It works with both. You can transfer data locally via USB 3.0, or connect to our cloud platform over WiFi 802.11ac for remote monitoring and analysis.
