DESCRIPTION

Solana is a molecular testing solution for COVID-19 without the tradeoffs between throughput, lengthy turnaround times, highly complex workflows, and reagent availability. Quidel’s Solana instrument and robust respiratory testing menu now features the Solana SARS-CoV-2 Assay. With Solana, we offer a scalable and flexible molecular solution that delivers highly accurate molecular results in an actionable timeframe.

Solana is a bench top instrument that combines Quidel’s proprietary helicase-dependent amplification (HDA) with fluorescence detection to deliver molecular results you can trust, faster than ever before.

The Solana testing system is easily accessible and can be seamlessly integrated. Solana’s workflow is easy and flexible, capable of testing a single specimen or batching up to 11 tests at a time.
