Using a disk platform, multiple samples can be identified fully automatically on-site and within 45 min on a cost-effective test carrier, the LabDisk. The diagnosis is based on qPCR and is thus pathogen-specific.

12 pathogens are to be identified according to the requirements of the first responders. An enrichment via beads can be established within the LabDisk in order to lower detection limits and will be adapted for use in the field.
