QuidelOrtho’s Sofia® Platform delivers advanced, rapid diagnostic testing solutions that support pharmacy-based clinical services and improve patient outcomes. As pharmacies expand into point-of-care testing, the Sofia platform provides a reliable, CLIA-waived solution for a wide range of infectious diseases, including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, RSV, and Strep A. The system uses advanced immunofluorescence-based lateral flow technology to deliver highly accurate, objective results in as little as 3 to 15 minutes, depending on the assay.
Designed with workflow efficiency in mind, the Sofia platform’s wireless connectivity, powered by Virena®, features user-friendly touchscreens, automated data transfer capabilities, and connectivity options that integrate with laboratory information systems (LIS) and EMR systems. The platform also supports barcode scanning for simplified patient and operator identification.
Key features include:
- Rapid, CLIA-waived testing for a wide array of infectious diseases
- Advanced fluorescence technology for objective, automated results
- Small, benchtop design with intuitive user interface
- Real-time data sharing through Virena® for enhanced compliance
