The new VSS-GP saliva-based COVID-19 lateral flow test from Intelligent Fingerprinting makes testing far easier for all ages:
Saliva-based method enables simpler and quicker collection of samples
Test takes only 20 minutes, with independent clinical evaluation showing 100% concordance with routine accurate reference RT-PCR
Designed to support COVID-19 testing in schools, workplaces, universities, care homes, healthcare and public events
Environmentally-friendly test strip design removes requirement for plastic cartridge casing and associated transportation costs
Entirely UK researched, developed and manufactured
An Easier Way To Test
The Intelligent Fingerprinting VSS-GP test uses lateral flow technology to detect the SARS-CoV-2 antigen using a saliva sample.
a third quicker than most current nose and throat lateral flow tests.
Unlike existing COVID-19 tests that require unpleasant, invasive nose and throat swabs, our test uses a simple swab to collect a saliva sample just from the inside of the cheek.
The test strip is deliberately simple in design and engineered to keep plastic usage to a minimum – with none of the plastic casing that is usually associated with lateral flow tests.
Because it is so easy to collect a saliva sample, the test is particularly suitable for use with more vulnerable people and children. It facilitates frequent testing across a range of applications including schools, workplaces, public events, care homes, healthcare, airports and prisons.
How it works
The swab is used to collect the saliva sample from the inside of the lower cheek,
