3 General Description
3.1 System description
The QIAreach eHub, in combination with QIAreach assay eSticks, provides a simplified workflow
for multiple in vitro diagnostic tests, using state-of-the-art nanoparticle fluorescence detection
technology. QIAreach assay eSticks are single-use tests that include a lateral flow strip and
optoelectronics that perform test measurements and interpret results. The QIAreach eHub provides
power to the QIAreach test eStick to run the test when the test eStick is connected to any one of the
eHub eStick ports. The QIAreach eHub visually communicates test progress and results to the user
via a display screen specific to each eHub port.
Optional PC software is provided with the QIAreach eHub. The QIAreach eHub will transmit test
information and results when connected to a computer running QIAreach software.
3.2 QIAreach eHub description
The QIAreach eHub is a connection hub that provides power to perform multiple QIAreach tests
simultaneously. The eHub is connected to a power source using the provided connection cable and
features a rechargeable lithium battery to allow QIAreach tests to be performed when a continuous
power supply is not available. QIAreach test results are interpreted on the QIAreach test eStick
firmware, and results are transmitted to the eHub which then communicates to the user by means of
a visual display.
The QIAreach eHub USB charger and USB cable allow the eHub to be powered from either an
electrical outlet or from a computer equipped with USB ports. Use of the optional QIAreach
software requires the QIAreach eHub to be connected to a computer. For instructions on how to
use the software, refer to
QIAreach Software User Guide .
