Rapid, Accurate Screening – Anytime, Anywhere.
Screen up to 384 samples with accuracy and speed on the frontline – from routine livestock screening to remote outbreak response.
Sentinel Mini delivers fast, PCR-level results in just 30 minutes, in a compact, mobile format. Built for the field, it operates reliably in tough conditions with minimal setup.
Paired with the Seguro Module, Sentinel Mini becomes a complete portable lab — combining sample preparation, liquid handling, and tracking with high-speed testing and secure reporting. Perfect for human and animal health, emergency response, and ongoing surveillance.
Process up to 384 tests per hour, with results in under 30 minutes. Achieve PCR-level sensitivity and specificity – on par with central labs.
Get Instant results via the dashboard, alerts, or directly into laboratory information management systems (LIMS) – fully secure and actionable.
Run one or two 96-well plates at any time – no need to wait for a whole batch. Stagger plate loading to reduce idle time and boost throughput.
Designed for real-time decision-making, Sentinel Mini allows labs and field teams to manage urgent scenarios without compromising throughput or accuracy.
Screen for multiple pathogens from a single sample, saving time and resources without compromising accuracy.
Sentinel supports a wide range of IVD formats and rapidly adapts to new human and animal threats.
With a low-power, rugged design, Sentinel Mini and Seguro is deployable in mobile units, farms, airports, regional clinics, or outbreak zones.
Sentinel’s compact footprint and low power requirements make it easy to deploy in almost any setting.
The Seguro companion module simplifies sample handling and tracking before samples are processed in the Sentinel Mini with three integrated and easy-to-use tools:
Together, Seguro and Sentinel Mini create a complete portable lab solution, delivering rapid results to prevent loss and limit disease spread.
Sentinel Solutions
The flexible Sentinel system can rapidly adapt to test for current and emerging pathogen threats.
Sentinel transforms human pathology screening with unmatched speed, accuracy, and affordability.
Suitable for a wide range of scales and settings – from hospitals to mobile clinics – Sentinel delivers results up to 4x faster and at significantly lower costs, all with minimal manual handling.
Sentinel empowers the global livestock industry with high-throughput, cost-effective screening for emerging and endemic animal diseases.
Designed to reduce costs, manual intervention, and biosecurity risks, Sentinel ensures trade compliance and rapid response – delivering up to 80% savings for live animal import/export.
Sentinel provides a robust, scalable solution for outbreak preparedness and biodefence. Designed for governments, defence, and homeland security, Sentinel Biosecurity Solutions enables rapid mass testing and proactive readiness with customisable stockpiling strategies.
Avicena’s Smart Stockpiling Solution ensures test kits are always deployment-ready, with automatic replenishment of expiring stock.
Sentinel Mini is engineered for ease-of-use and flexible throughput. With minimal setup and operator input, you can rapidly process hundreds of samples a day, knowing you are prepared for challenging screening scenarios.
Sentinel platforms support a wide range of sample types, including saliva, nasal, blood, and skin lesions – delivering adaptable screening across human and animal screening contexts.
Each sample is collected in a barcoded tube pre-filled with stabilising buffer, enabling secure, end-to-end tracking from collection to result.

Sentinel Mini empowers on-the-ground health teams and responders with the speed and accuracy to detect, report and act – without waiting on the lab.
Sentinel Mini is ideal for mobile labs, remote health clinics, farms, border checkpoints, and emergency response units – anywhere rapid, reliable testing is needed without full lab infrastructure.
Lead times vary based on location and order size, but standard turnaround is typically 4–8 weeks. Contact us for an estimate.
No. Minimal training is needed. With the Seguro module, sample preparation and handling are simplified, allowing non-specialist operators to run tests confidently in the field.
Not fully. The Mini processes and analyses samples. Sample inactivation, liquid handling, and sample tracking are done using the Seguro module, which streamlines these steps in a portable format.
Yes. The platform supports multiple IVD formats and can be configured to detect a wide range of human and animal pathogens — including emerging and zoonotic diseases.
The unit operates on mains or battery power and has low energy requirements, making it suitable for mobile deployments and off-grid use.
We offer remote support, on-site servicing, and access to software updates, maintenance protocols, and performance monitoring tools.
Yes, our team support customers in navigating local regulatory and compliance requirements as part of implementation.
With the Sentinel Mini and Seguro, in higher throughput applications, an 8-channel decapper is recommended.
In some environments, a portable labratory bench hood with HEPA air filtration is recommended.
The Avicena Sentinel instrument is intended for trained laboratory professionals to run isothermal amplification assays. Diagnostic use of the Sentinel requires IVD reagents and laboratory workflows which have been authorised by relevant regulatory agencies in each jurisdiction and by Avicena Systems as compatible with the instrument.
