As we enter the respiratory virus season the need for rapid, reliable, and scalable diagnostic tools for respiratory viruses has never been more apparent. From influenza and RSV to SARS-CoV-2, respiratory pathogens place a significant burden on the HSE. This is especially so during the winter months where the number of hospital admissions tend to increase. However, with modern molecular testing technologies, the pressure on hospital staff does not need to increase in line with this increase in patients presenting.
The Coyote Bioscience FlashDetect™ Flash10 is a fully automated rapid PCR system that brings unmatched precision and efficiency to molecular diagnostics. Designed to operate seamlessly with Coyote’s LyocartD and LyocartE cartridges, it ensures a contamination-free process from sample loading through to qPCR. The Flash10 system not only provides results in under 25 minutes, but it also allows for the independent operation of four samples simultaneously — thus enhancing throughput and efficiency. Known for its high sensitivity across a broad range of tests, the system’s intuitive design facilitates easy operation. It grants access to a diverse test menu, including the most common respiratory viruses: SARS-CoV-2 & FluA/B & RSV.
Key Features and Advantages
Ultra-Fast PCR
The Flash 10 utilizes proprietary rapid thermal cycling technology, allowing it to perform real-time PCR amplification and detection in under half an hour.
Multiplex Detection
It can simultaneously detect multiple respiratory viruses—including SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A/B, and RSV—in a single test, making it highly efficient for differential diagnosis during respiratory virus seasons or outbreaks.
User-Friendly
The system is designed with simplicity in mind, utilising preloaded cartridges allowing for minimal sample handling. This ease-of-use makes it ideal for use by non-specialists in resource-limited or decentralised settings.
Random Access
The system is designed to add cartridges while others are running and allows for running multiple different types of cartridges simultaneously.
CE-IVD
The product is approved by CE-IVDR, for In Vitro Diagnostic use.
Whether you’re a Microbiology lab, GP clinic, community testing hub, hospital A&E department or Nursing home the flash 10 is the system for you coming into respiratory season.
