Featured product - QUICKPREP
From sample to viable microorganisms in 5 minutes
QUICKprep is FASTINOV’s rapid sample-preparation technology for recovering viable bacteria or yeasts directly from positive samples.
In 5 minutes, laboratories can obtain a pellet with viable microorganisms directly from the blood, urine or CSF. It is ready for standardization, allowing downstream identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing without waiting for overnight colony growth.
No dedicated instrument is required.
QUICKprep is CE marked in accordance with EU IVDR 2017/746. Availability may vary by market.

From flow cytometry research to a broader microbiology platform
FASTINOV’s technology programme began with research into rapid phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing by flow cytometry. Developing that approach created the need for faster, reliable preparation of viable microorganisms directly from positive samples, leading to proprietary sample-preparation methods and ultimately to QUICKprep.
Over more than a decade, this work has been advanced through laboratory research, clinical collaboration and scientific validation. FASTINOV’s patent portfolio and more than 30 scientific publications and studies involving its technologies reflect the scientific foundation behind the company’s products.
