On Farm Testing
Alternate Terms:
on-farm testing, point-of-need testing, field testing, on-site testing, decentralized testing
Running a diagnostic test at or near the location where samples are collected, rather than shipping samples to a laboratory and waiting for results. Alveo Sense is built for this: the workflow is guided step by step in the app, requires no RNA extraction, lab setup, centrifuge, or specialized technical background, and returns a preliminary result in under an hour. An offline mode supports testing where cellular or Wi-Fi coverage is unreliable, holding up to 10 results that upload once connectivity returns.
