FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ViRAPID® Rocket is a range of automated analysers for the reading and processing of FIA and colorimetric rapid tests in the laboratory. The range includes different configurations to match different testing volumes and levels of automation.
The range includes ViRAPID® Rocket 1, available in the R1F and R1C models, and ViRAPID® Rocket 25, designed for laboratories requiring greater capacity, random access and continuous loading.
ViRAPID® Rocket can process FIA and colorimetric rapid tests, depending on the model and assay. Vircell’s rapid testing menu focuses primarily on pathogens associated with respiratory and gastrointestinal infections.
Random access allows tests to be added and processed according to laboratory demand without relying exclusively on closed batches. ViRAPID® Rocket 25 combines random access with continuous loading of tests and samples.
ViRAPID® Rocket 25 can process up to 25 tests simultaneously and deliver more than 70 determinations per hour.
ViRAPID® Rocket 25 uses 2D codes to automatically identify key test information, including the assay type, lot number and expiry date. This automatic identification supports traceability throughout the testing process.
Yes. ViRAPID® Rocket 25 supports LIS connectivity via HL7, helping integrate test results into the laboratory information workflow.
Automation can reduce manual reading and identification tasks, improve traceability and facilitate the management of higher testing volumes. With Rocket 25, these benefits are combined with random access, continuous loading and automatic ejection of processed test devices.
ViRAPID® Rocket 25 provides automated processing and reading of FIA and colorimetric rapid tests, bringing different assay formats together on a single analyser.
