Empowering healthworkers with the answers they need in less than 30 minutes
Q-POC™ is a simple to use, portable and battery-operated molecular diagnostic system – complete with sample caddy – which offers true sample to answer analysis in 10 – 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the test.
QuantuMDx are developing Q-POC™ - The Future of Diagnostics.
Taking the lab to the patient anywhere in the world. Drug sensitivity testing at your fingertips.
The Problem
Current diagnostics can be broken into two general groups, either simple and unreliable or complex and infastructure reliant. Each has its strengths, but also its limitations which result in inefficiencies for healthcare systems and patients.

DNA analysis at your fingertips
Q-POC’s superior multiplexing capabilities will bring the power of precision medicine to health professionals globally...
Sample prep
Rapid lysis is performed chemically and, where necessary, with heat.
DNA extraction
3 minute DNA purification using a novel filter to capture contaminant cellular components such as carbohydrates and proteins, leaving the DNA in solution.
DNA amplification
7 minute continuous flow PCR using static heat blocks at three distinct temperatures. Microfluidics cycle the sample over these heat blocks, for rapid ramping.
Sensitive in-line optics observe the generation of fluorescence as the target region is amplified providing a qPCR read-out, for sample to qPCR result in just over 10 minutes.
DNA detection
5 minute microarray detection is also conducted to interrogate the target region at multiple sites for drug sensitivity testing. A microarray is spotted with DNA probes complementary to the target DNA marker.
The sample is flowed over the array; if the target DNA is present in the sample, hybridisation occurs and fluorescence is detected.
