Prepare a Liquid Colony™ from a positive blood culture in minutes

Qvella’s mission is to improve patient outcomes and save lives through reducing time to actionable results in microbiology and infectious disease testing. The FAST System using the FAST-PBC Prep Cartridge is designed to turn time around by isolating and concentrating pathogenic cells directly from a PBC in ~30 minutes, enabling the set-up of user-validated downstream applications earlier.

FAST System is designed to impact time to actionable results.
