Description
PCR-Level DNA & RNA Detection
Rapid molecular testing in minutes directly in your veterinary clinic
For Dogs, Cats & Birds
The Platform
The FLASH Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) Platform is a compact, integrated molecular testing platform designed to bring PCR-level accuracy directly to the point of need without the complexity of traditional laboratory systems.
Built for decentralized environments, the system delivers fast, reliable DNA and RNA detection through a simplified workflow that eliminates the need for specialized lab infrastructure.
- Rapid results
Actionable answers during the same consult - Minimal hands-on time
Streamlined sample-to-result workflow - No calibration required
Factory-set and ready to run - Low maintenance
No complex servicing or optical alignment - No risk of in-house contamination
Closed, contamination-controlled cartridges - Compact footprint
Ideal for clinics, production floors, processing facilities, and mobile setups - Extensive test menu
Test for relevant pathogens in multiple species
FLASH VetID™
Veterinary clinics require fast, reliable answers to support clinical decisions during the
same consultation. FLASH VetID™ brings molecular diagnostics directly into the practice
— enabling qualitative pathogen detection with PCR-level sensitivity without outsourcing
samples to external laboratories.
Designed specifically for veterinary workflows, the system supports relevant animal
pathogens using small-volume samples and minimal preparation steps.
Molecular Precision for Modern Veterinary Practice
Benefits for Veterinary Clinics
• Same-visit diagnostic answers
• Reduced reliance on external labs
• Improved case management and treatment decisions
• Small sample volume requirements
• Simple workflow suitable for clinic staff
From vector-borne diseases to emerging infectious threats, FLASH VetID™ empowers
veterinarians with rapid molecular insight at the point of care.
FLASH™ combines extraction, amplification, and detection of nucleic acids into a unified
workflow powered by the Flash Base™ and Flash Piccolo™ devices, and single-use
cartridges
Platform Components
FLASH Base™
Compact device that runs up to 4 independent tests at once. Intelligent software ensures precise performance and long-term reliability, without maintenance or calibration
needed.
FLASH Piccolo™
Ultra-compact single-channel instrument powered via USB-C or power bank. Enables
immediate lab-quality diagnostics wherever care is needed.
Sample Direct Cartridge
Concentrates pathogens and genetic material directly from the sample, boosting sensitivity
without extra lab equipment. Just load and test — ready in minutes, with built-in
waste containment to minimize contamination risks.
Test Cartridge
Single-use and preloaded with all necessary reagents. Delivers reliable lab PCR results
in a rapid test format by minimizing user error. Equipment-free readout: one band
means negative, two bands mean positive.

How does it compare to PCR in the lab?
The FLASH VetID™ relies on the same core principle: enzymatic amplification of target DNA or RNA using highly specific primers and probes. However, it does not require the traditional thermal cycling process of PCR. For this reason, the tests deliver PCR-comparable specificity and sensitivity, but in a simple, faster, and ultra-compact format.
How does it compare to other methods?
| Technology | Detects | Sensitivity | Equipment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rapid antigen/antibody test | Proteins | Moderate | None/reader |
| Lab ELISA | Proteins | High | Lab instrument |
| Lab PCR | DNA/RNA | High | Lab instrument |
| FLASH VetID | DNA/RNA | PCR-level | In-clinic FLASH Base device |
The Superior Solution for Infectious Disease Testing
Combine the convenience of rapid testing with the power of nucleic acid detection to diagnose diseases in dogs and cats on-site in 30 minutes.
