07 — Cartridge Workflow

Cartridge-Driven Diagnostic Workflows for Future Point-of-Care Testing

BIQADX is developing cartridge-based workflow concepts intended to simplify sample handling, support controlled testing and enable future decentralized diagnostic platforms after validation.

01 The cartridge concept

The cartridge is the replaceable test interface that organises sample handling and test execution.

We are developing cartridge-based workflow concepts intended to simplify how a sample is handled and how a test is executed — described here only in public workflow language, not internal construction.

Every cartridge format would require performance validation, usability validation, stability studies and regulatory review before any use. The intent is controlled, traceable handling as a design direction.

02 Sample handling, step by step

A controlled, cartridge-based workflow

Sample presented

A sample is presented to the cartridge through a controlled step.

Cartridge loaded

The cartridge organises the chosen test format for the platform.

Controlled processing

The workflow is handled under appropriate quality checks.

Signal read

A signal is read by the platform for interpretation.

Result checked

A result is prepared for review only after appropriate validation.

03 Why a disciplined workflow

Organised handling over ad-hoc steps

Ad-hoc handling
  • Loose, inconsistent sample steps
  • Hard to trace what happened
  • Quality checks vary by operator
  • Difficult to repeat across formats
Cartridge-based direction
  • A single, controlled entry step
  • Traceability built into the workflow
  • Consistent quality checks by design
  • A shared, repeatable foundation across formats
