It is claimed to be the first and only self-contained, single-use Covid-19 product that provides PCR-quality results in 15 minutes without the need for any external power supply or reader.

Veros helps to reduce the spread of Covid-19 through quick and precise diagnoses.

In a multicentre study, Veros Covid-19 was found to be easy to use, with all test site operators reporting that the device was easy to read and the results easy to understand, with less hands-on time.

Veros Covid-19 can detect all variants of interest and concern, including Omicron and its identified subvariants, currently identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
