Applications

Five sectors. One platform.

Healthcare is the lead market. Food safety, veterinary, biodefense, and environmental are adjacent verticals on the same manufacturing line.

Healthcare

Lead market. Clinical rapid diagnostics anchored in donor-screen for HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis.

Food Safety

Pathogens, allergens, mycotoxins. FSMA and Farm to Fork drive decentralized on-site testing.

Veterinary

Point-of-care is a fast-growing subset, anchored in companion animals, livestock, and on-farm testing for zoonotic and transboundary disease surveillance.

Biodefense

CBRN, pandemic influenza, emerging infectious disease. BARDA DDDI funds field-deployable pathogen diagnostics on profiles consistent with CENTiV, including the 2025 DxR2 RPP solicitation for point-of-care biothreat tests.

Environmental

Water, wastewater, biosecurity surveillance. CDC NWSS covers approximately 1,500 sites across all 50 states and territories, expanding from SARS-CoV-2 to mpox, influenza, RSV, and additional pathogen targets.

Material reduction

The roll format cuts 97 percent of per-test cassette material.

Across the per-test footprint, the roll format eliminates plastic housing, removes cold-chain dependence, and reclassifies disposal.

Mass without function

A conventional cassette kit averages 32.2 g of materials per test, dominated by plastic housing and packaging (Wöhrle M-L et al. 2025). The roll format removes the cassette entirely. Roughly 97 percent per-test material reduction.

Cleaner end-of-life handling

Material composition is designed for clean incineration with no halogenated plastics and no dioxin precursors at the source. Disposal pathway is engineered for predictable, regulated handling.

Predictable disposal cost

Disposal classification is engineered to route used devices through fixed-cost regulated waste streams rather than variable-cost handling pathways. Disposal becomes a predictable line item rather than a variable expense.

United Nations Sustainable Development GoalsSustainability

Designed for Sustainable Diagnostics

CENTiV™ is designed to support more sustainable and resilient diagnostic systems, aligned with three of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 - Good Health and Well-Being

SDG 3 - Good Health and Well-Being

Reduces barriers to sensitive diagnostics through self-service deployment. The kiosk model enables zero human interaction, lowering stigma and access barriers documented for HIV and STI testing.

UN Sustainable Development Goal 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production

SDG 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production

Reduces reliance on single-use plastics and lowers the material footprint of high-volume diagnostic testing.

UN Sustainable Development Goal 13 - Climate Action

SDG 13 - Climate Action

Reduces the logistics burden associated with high-volume testing, supporting lower transport and storage impact.
