Advantages of the Vivalytic cartridges

Samples are typically tested using several different laboratory technologies. The innovative system of the Vivalytic cartridges combines all of them and enables fully automated testing.

The samples are processed directly in the Vivalytic cartridges and prepared for the test – this makes the procedure easier and saves precious time.
The Vivalytic cartridges can be used to test different kinds of samples reliably and safely. This way, Vivalytic contributes to the discovery of various infections.
The cartridge is a self-contained, closed system, which facilitates hygienic work and safety.
We not only take responsibility when it comes to health, but also when it comes to the environment. That is why Vivalytic cartridges are carbon neutral.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have any questions? We have the answers.

What does the workflow of a test look like?

The workflow is a consistent automation of proven molecular-diagnostic procedures. The process lyses and homogenizes the sample using ultrasound. Next, the nucleic acid is filtered and washed. This takes place using a bind-wash-elute on a silica membrane. Then, depending on the test, the PCR-based amplification procedure is used. The respective detection procedure depends on the test and may be based on PCR, melting curve or microarray.

Is there any specific training needed to operate Vivalytic?

Vivalytic is easy and intuitive to operate. Minimal training expenditure will suffice. This means that hospital staff with only little specific laboratory experience can also operate Vivalytic.

Which sample material must be taken for SARS-CoV-2 testing?

Nasopharyngeal swab (Nasal swab): The sample is taken from a patient's nose or throat using a swab.

Who takes care of the maintenance of the Vivalytic devices?

Bosch has designed Vialytic to need as less maintenance as possible. Software updates will be provided with a cloud-based solution and be easily downloaded online.

Can you reuse the test cartridges?

No, the cartridges are a disposable product. Due to the potential contamination within the cartridges with samples that contain pathogens, reuse is not possible.

Do I need special protection while working with Vivalytic?

The risk of infection is reduced to a minimum due to the closed Vivalytic system and its cartridge.

How much will Vivalytic and the COVID-19 cartridges costs?

Bosch Healthcare Solutions cannot provide any information on the prices, as we do not market the product ourselves. The pricing policy is a matter for our sales partners.
