Qvella Corporation is a mid-sized medical equipment manufacturer based in Richmond Hill, Ontario. The company aims to deliver microbiology results in minutes rather than hours or days, providing clinicians with information that can influence patient care in a shorter timeframe. Its workflow combines a rapid sample-treatment approach with a lysis step to enable the quick isolation and concentration of viable infectious organisms from complex samples, including whole blood. Its primary customers are clinicians and clinical laboratories that require faster, actionable microbiology data to guide patient care. Operating in the medical diagnostics equipment industry, Qvella is positioned to offer workflows that shorten the time to pathogen detection. A recent development noted in its communications is the 2021 announcement of an automated cartridge-based system intended to speed detection of pathogens from positive blood cultures.
