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-Prep PBC System 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-Prep PBC is designed to impact time to actionable results.
