  • Random-access processing, without the need to work exclusively in fixed batches.
  • Capacity for up to 25 tests simultaneously.
  • Automatic ejection of processed test devices.
  • A flexible workflow designed to adapt to the laboratory's daily testing demand.

Automated test identification and reading

  • Processing of FIA and colorimetric rapid tests, depending on the analyzer model and assay.
  • Automatic identification of test information, lot number and expiration date via 2D code on Rocket 25.
  • Reading of fluorescent and visual tests.
  • Qualitative and quantitative results, depending on the assay.

Traceability and connectivity

ViRAPID® Rocket 25 supports LIS/HIS connectivity via HL7, helping laboratories integrate rapid test results into their existing information workflow.

  • Loading assistant to guide the user throughout the process.
  • Internal and external quality control of the process and reagents.
  • Sample identification using an external barcode reader.
  • LIS/HIS connectivity via HL7.
  • Automatic result printing with ViRAPID® Rocket 25.

Why choose ViRAPID® Rocket?

  • Automation that adapts to the laboratory workflow

    Automation that adapts to the laboratory workflow

    ViRAPID® Rocket provides different levels of automation to match different laboratory testing needs.

    Rocket 1, available as R1F and R1C, is designed for individual test processing, while Rocket 25 expands automation with random access, continuous loading and simultaneous processing of up to 25 tests.

  • Standardized instrument-based reading

    Standardized instrument-based reading

    Automated reading helps laboratories integrate rapid tests into a more controlled and standardized workflow, reducing dependence on visual interpretation.

    Rocket 25 automatically identifies key test information via 2D code and incorporates reading systems for fluorescent and visual assays.

  • Higher capacity for growing testing demand

    Higher capacity for growing testing demand

    With capacity for 25 tests simultaneously and more than 70 tests per hour, ViRAPID® Rocket 25 increases laboratory automation while maintaining the flexibility of random-access processing.

  • A rapid testing solution for infectious disease diagnostics
