CENTiV

Redefining how rapid diagnostics are manufactured, transported, used, and discarded.

What we make

You have probably used a rapid test.

A COVID self-test and a pregnancy test are the most familiar examples. Each one arrives sealed in its own single-use plastic shell, used once and thrown away.

We make the same kind of test on a continuous roll instead. A small reusable reader reads each result and records it as health data.

The device handles the steps people most often get wrong, like measuring liquids and timing the result. The result is shown to the person taking the test, then hidden from bystanders.

A new format for rapid diagnostics

CENTiV™ is a patent-pending rapid diagnostic platform that delivers up to 100 tests from a single sealed roll.

Each sealed roll replaces up to 100 single-use plastic cassettes. Fewer components and fewer manual steps mean fewer ways to get a test wrong.

The problem

Four problems built into the cassette.The platform removes each one.

These are problems of format, not chemistry.

  • 01

    Plastic overhead

    CENTiV replaces the cassette with a roll. Under 3 g of material per test.

  • 02

    Cold chain dependence

    CENTiV ships at room temperature. No refrigerated cold chain.

  • 03

    Result privacy

    Result is visible to the user during a defined read window, then masked from bystanders. No electronics required.

  • 04

    Invisible data

    Standard healthcare data formats from first read. Offline capable.
