Veros™ COVID-19 test now available in Europe
Handheld, instrument-free test delivers lab-quality molecular results – 97.9% accuracy – in about 15 minutes, right at the point of care.
More than 500 million people worldwide have been infected with COVID-19. More cases occur daily.1 The need for fast, reliably accurate, and accessible test results remains a critical unmet need.
Meet Veros COVID-19. The first and only fully integrated, instrument-free molecular diagnostic test that provides laboratory-quality molecular results in about 15 minutes right at the point of care. Patients don’t have to wait for answers. Healthcare providers can make confident, timely decisions for better care.
Proven effective
One of the most comprehensive COVID-19 diagnostic testing clinical trials conducted to date proved the performance of Veros COVID-192:
- 97.9% accuracy
- 95.2% sensitivity
- 99.5% specificity
Where the performance of some antigen tests has waned with new variants3-7, Veros COVID-19 has maintained 100% conservation in all Variants of Interest and Concern identified to date by WHO and the US CDC, including Delta and Omicron.

Proven easy to use, easy to deploy
100% of all participants in the clinical trial agreed that Veros COVID-19 was easy to use and that it delivered simple-to-read, understandable results.2
Veros COVID-19 requires no formal laboratory training. No instrument. No external power supply. And minimal hands-on time from start to finish.
Just swab, swirl, and test. See clear results in about 15 minutes. Then dispose of the device when done. Easy.

The answer is within reach
Advantages over rapid antigen testing
- Over 1000x more sensitive than antigen tests8
- On average, molecular tests detect ~30% more true positives8
- Studies suggest some antigen tests may fail to detect variants such as Omicron3-7
- PCR tests detect virus sooner than rapid antigen tests9
Fast results
- Diagnose and treat within an office visit
- No waiting for lab results
Improved throughput
- Clinic can run one or dozens of tests at the same time for more efficient patient throughput and productive large-scale testing
- No service downtime or machine setup – ever
Greater economy
- No capital expense
- No need to calibrate, validate, or maintain instruments
