CEN4GEN Rapid testing medical device
What is a rapid testing medical device ?

Using the latest in cutting-edge molecular medicine technologies or molecular diagnostic technologies, a rapid testing medical device detects biomarkers, infectious pathogens and/or analytes which can immediately be used in the point of care of patients, for household self monitoring, for law enforcement drug screening, for infectious disease screening, and so on. These are essentially portable medical devices which offer onsite laboratory testing.


What are the advantages of rapid testing medical devices that we offer ?

Rapid testing medical devices are relatively inexpensive and very practical to rapidly detect and report a biomarker associated with a human disease or the physiological status of a person, an infectious pathogen and/or an analyte (such as a drug). Other advantages of these medical devices include: the amount of specimen requirement is very small; they are simple to use and do not always require the presence of a highly qualified trained personnel; they allow for high throughput analysis and integrated detection, and they are very convenient for mobile and on-site testing.


Where can rapid testing medical devices be used ?

Because of the numerous advantages that rapid testing medical devices have, they can be deployed and used in many practical settings, including:

  • Hospitals (clinical testing division or on site in the ICU or emergency division)
  • Centers for disease control and prevention
  • Food safety testing sites
  • Customs and airport screening sites
  • Quarantine facilities
  • Law enforcement and military units
  • Ambulances or emergency medical units
  • Household for self testing and monitoring
  • Remote geographic regions which lack medical facilities and/or expertise
  • Pharmacies
  • Diagnostic testing facilities
  • Senior care facilities
  • Etc


What are the types of rapid testing medical devices we offer ?

The rapid testing medical devices have impressive sensitivity and precision for the detection of biomarkers, infectious pathogens and analytes (such as drugs). We offer rapid testing medical devices that exist in two major forms, namely: 1) qualitative testing devices and 2) quantitative testing devices. The qualitative testing devices are stand alone testing devices which provide qualitative analytic results in 1 to 15 minutes, depending on the device. In this manner, there is a color change in the device to indicate the presence of the biomarker, infectious pathogen or analyte (such as drug).

The quantitative testing devices are also stand alone testing devices but require the analytic results to be read and reported by a portable device reader. This allows for the rapid reporting of quantitative test results in as little as 5 seconds, depending on the device.


How do the results from quantitative rapid testing medical devices we offer compare to other standard current methods of testing ?

A comparison of the results of the rapid testing quantitative medical devices that we offer found all of them to perform impressively with results very similar to standard current methods of testing, with a coefficient of correlation value (R-value) being higher than 99% for the majority of devices. The rapid testing medical devices that we offer are more advantageous to use unlike standard current methods of testing which are time consuming, require multiple highly qualified staff to perform, require multiple and complex equipment and reagents, and in general more expensive to perform and operate.


Why choose a rapid testing medical device from us ?

  • These medical devices are relatively inexpensive, rapid and portable to use, compared to current standard practices for the analysis of biomarkers, infectious pathogens and/or analytes.
  • Devices are manufactured using cutting edge technologies in accredited environments, which further reinforce their high standards, accuracy and quality.
  • Our priority is to ensure that your needs are met to maximize your testing objectives.
  • We value high standards, ethics and integrity for the services and devices we provide.
  • Our services are rendered and the devices are manufactured by highly qualified and experienced professionals.
  • We offer affordable customized options to address your needs.
  • We are a leader in molecular medicine / molecular diagnostic medicine.
