The device
A mobile laboratory
in the palm of your hand.
The Igloo Pro Reader is a portable point-of-care analyzer that uses advanced lateral-flow assay technologies for rapid, accurate in-vitro tests — of blood markers, drug tests and infectious diseases. For humans, animals and the environment.
Why it’s different
Five things the Igloo Pro Reader was built to do
- Premium design
Compact, all-day power
A small, robust analyzer engineered for the counter and the field, with a battery that runs up to 24 hours of testing per charge.
- Flexible & mobile
Wherever testing happens
Pharmacies, medical practices, care facilities and fitness studios — or fully mobile for outreach and home visits.
- Advanced diagnostics
Reads what other readers can’t
Supports different cassette and strip form factors — up to 8 lines, or up to 100 points per strip — for richer, multiplexed results.
- Versatile · safe · fast
A wide range of parameters, in minutes
Precise, standardised analysis across a broad menu of tests — delivering an answer in minutes rather than a lab turnaround.
- User-friendly
Intuitive, with automatic self-calibration
Simple guided operation, automatic self-calibration before each run, and built-in data security you can rely on.
One reader, the whole market
Around 90% of the lateral-flow tests on the market — one device.
Purpose-built adapters let the Igloo Pro Reader evaluate roughly 90% of the lateral-flow tests available today, regardless of who manufactured them. Read your results where you work: on a PC, on a smartphone, or on the integrated display.
