Advantages of the Vivalytic Analyser

This unique all-in-one solution makes your daily work in the clinic much easier: what previously had to be tested manually by specialist staff or took a long time to be tested in the laboratory can now easily be done on site.

Vivalytic is easy and intuitive to use – minimal instruction is sufficient to train healthcare professionals.
The minimalistic design and easy handling guarantee a high usability.
The use of the Vivalytic Analyser does not require any additional peripheral devices, such as a laptop, keyboard, barcode scanner or filling stations.
The Vivalytic Analyser provides comprehensive test results both in the form of an overview and in detail, including analysis results.
You can easily connect the Vivalytic Analyser to your existing IT system in the hospital (HIS) via interfaces.
The highest IT security and data protection standards guarantee the effective and reliable protection of sensitive data.
A Vivalytic Analyser can easily be linked to other Analysers in order to carry out several test series at the same time.

Advantages of the Vivalytic cartridges

The innovative, self-contained system of the Vivalytic cartridges not only ensures maximum safety – it also combines a wide variety of laboratory technologies for maximum usability.

Regardless of its size or the number of liquid reagents, a Vivalytic cartridge contains all required reagents for a test and is compatible with every Vivalytic Analyser.
With the Vivalytic cartridge, even the smallest samples can be tested efficiently.
With the help of intelligent, programmable microfluidics, Vivalytic makes it possible to analyze a sample in two independent, parallel PCR reactions.
The ultrasound-assisted sample processing homogenizes and lyses even the most demanding samples fully automated – making manual sample preparation obsolete.

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.

Who are your Vivalytic customers?

The portfolio is aimed at all medical facilities such as laboratories, medical practices and hospitals.

Who takes care of the maintenance of the Vivalytic devices?

Bosch has designed Vivalytic 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.

What test procedures can be carried out?

All common PCR procedures (detection methods) can be carried out: end-point PCR, quantitative real-time PCR, melting curve analysis, and microarray technology.

Is there a connection to LIS?

The device is well equipped for connection to information systems in the hospital or laboratory environment and supports the established standards.
