ZiP is developing integrated point-of-care test platforms, comprising of assay, cartridge and instrument, to diagnose infectious diseases.

Test assays are loaded in sealed low cost plastic cartridges. The instrument incorporates an intuitive touch screen user interface that guides the user through the workflow, and provides real-time quantitative data acquisition. This approach provides sensitivity comparable to the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Sample to result is achieved in less than 30 minutes.

ZiP Test Platforms

ZiP-P2 Test Platform

The ZiP-P2 test platform implements our detection assay in a low-cost cartridge format suitable for higher throughput test applications. Instruments can process up to two cartridges with continuous random access. This platform can provide throughput of 4-6 tests per hour and banks of instruments can be run by a single operator with software linked test data.

TGA ARTG-LISTED (NUMBER: 457145), CE-MARKED, AND UKCA-APPROVED. RESEARCH USE ONLY IN OTHER REGIONS. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC. PURCHASER DETAILS WILL BE VERIFIED BEFORE PRODUCT SHIPMENT.

ZiP-H4 Test Platform

The ZiP-ARRAY test platform has been optimised for detection and interpretation of very small spot sizes in compact arrays, typically implemented on lateral flow membranes or functionalised plastic surfaces. Spots of proteins or particles are printed onto test strip cartridges using our test assay spotter. The ZiP-ARRAY test platform operates with a single cartridge.
