One hundred tests. One sealed roll
100 → 1

CENTiV handheld device

A single test, end to end.

Four steps. Each automates or geometrically constrains a failure mode in current LFAs.

01

Feed

Advance a fresh strip from the sealed roll.

Buffer handling is automated. Eliminates wrong buffer volume, wrong order, and wrong timing across the full 100-test roll lifetime.

02

Separate

Separate the strip from the dispenser.

Sample can only be applied after separation. Biosafety by design, not by instruction.

03

Dose

Apply fingerstick blood or urine to the sample pad. The assay starts automatically.

No vial to uncap, no timing to measure, no external reagent to handle.

04

Read

Result begins to show within minutes. Read by eye, handheld reader, or kiosk.

Quantitative digital readout removes dependence on lighting, reader fatigue, or time of read. The result is private to the user after the visual read window closes; digital audit by the reader is preserved.

Three modes of use.

One consumable, three deployment contexts. Handheld in the field, handheld with reader in clinics, kiosk for self-service.

Handheld, visual

For fieldwork and outreach where infrastructure is limited. Visual readout, no electronics. 100 tests per roll, no external buffer, no cold chain, no maintenance or calibration across the roll lifetime.

CENTiV handheld used in the field

Handheld, with reader

For clinical settings. The dispenser pairs with a quantitative digital reader for objective readout, digital record, and clinical workflow integration. One reader serves the full assay menu.

CENTiV handheld paired with reader

Installed kiosk

For self-service, direct-to-consumer access. The handheld dispenser docks into the kiosk to refill the strip supply, so the same consumable serves all three modes. Zero human interaction reduces stigma and access barriers documented for HIV and STI testing, extending the privacy-layer rationale to the deployment level. HL7/FHIR digital readout turns individual tests into real-time regional surveillance data, anonymized at the source.

First indications

Built for blood-donor screening.

Lead indications cover HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis.

  • HIV
  • Hepatitis B
  • Hepatitis C
  • Syphilis

Platform architecture supports extension to highly pathogenic respiratory pathogens.

Assay menu

Same platform. Different chemistry per SKU.

  • One reader runs the full assay menu.
  • Every new assay expands the roll catalog without new hardware.
  • A new test is a chemistry and software change, not a new tooling cycle.
