Tried & Tested Technology

Rapid Diagnostics for Health and Wellbeing

Tried and Tested is evolving into a significant digital health diagnostics company.

We specialise in the distribution of cutting-edge rapid diagnostic tests across the United Kingdom.

With an unwavering commitment to public health, our mission is to provide cost effective, accessible, reliable, and swift diagnostic solutions to individuals, healthcare professionals, and institutions.

The familiar Tried & Tested green tick logo ubiquitous during the pandemic years, was seen on millions of boxes of professional care lateral flow Covid tests.

We have invested substantially in a patented technology called éclateral which uses electrochemical measurements and lateral flow strips from any manufacturer, partnered with a hand held battery powered reader and an app, to deliver objective, quantifiable and accurate data from a sample within 30 minutes. You can read more about this unique product here.

Our parent company, Disruptive Nanotechnology Limited, has a research and development division, which is currently investigating better ways to radically reduce airborne pathogens using safe, broad spectrum UV light. This division is called Ultraviolet Engineering.

We predict the areas we are investing in and focusing on will be huge growth sectors in the next decades, as the world seeks to proactively prevent and contain the threats from existing and new pathogens of concern.

What We Do.

Scalability.

During the pandemic we helped to deliver many types of testing solution.

From mass testing for millions in travel hubs, event spaces or stadia, right down to one-on-one business class fast track testing in a welcoming pop up station in an airport, reception or public space.

For example…

The Space | Test-Pods

Rapid Deploy Shelters

For larger customised spaces and high traffic flow, we also work with the world’s leading suppliers of rapid deploy temporary structures.

Clients are guided to their pre-booked pod by the What3Words app. We assign each pod a 3m square with a unique 3 word address that will never change. For example ///filled.count.soap marks the exact entrance to what3words’ London headquarters. These 3 word addresses are easy to say and share, and are as accurate as GPS coordinates. 

The Product | Best of Breed Test Kits

Speed and simplicity are important, but accuracy must not be sacrificed. In some cases we may recommend a combination of different tests. We design the optimal diagnostic protocol for the client. We do NOT take a ‘one size fits all’ approach.

How do we know which test or tests to recommend?

Experience, and unending research. Talk to us.

The Branding | Design and Delivery

It’s very important to us that we create a pop-up testing environment which is practical and business-like, but equally we want it to be a comfortable and welcoming space for the people who staff it and are tested in it. Your employees and visitors are crucial to your success. You want them to be safe, and well cared for, physically and emotionally.

Your corporate colour schemes and logos can be applied to the pods to make them stand out, or blend in. Sponsorship and advertising are both possible, generating revenue, or facilitating public service messaging.

The People | Provision of Staff

We work closely with selected private providers of high quality and ultra-reliable medical and nursing staff to ensure that the safety and wellbeing of your employees and visitors is always top priority.

In the UK for example, we use only CQC registered healthcare providers. We are passionate about delivering high quality patient care.

Some clients already have their own in-house medical and nursing teams, in which case we work with you and them to provide appropriate training and support.

Protocol. Protocol. Protocol.

Why is Protocol important?

Because it doesn’t matter how good the test is. If it’s deployed badly, or conducted inefficiently, or the data is mislaid or defective, or misinterpreted, nothing is achieved.

To test people properly, to learn from the test, to make them safe, to keep them safe, to make things happen, it’s all about the protocol. Call us, we’ll explain. :-)

One More Thing | Hygiene

We deliver a bacteria and virus free environment. No chemicals, detergents or VOCs in our meticulously selected cleaning products. The pod is cleaned with environmentally friendly compounds and materials after each usage and personally prepared for each and every user.

Philips UV purification lamp system re-circulates air in the capsule.

The air in public places often re-circulates along with all bacteria (such as MRSA), viruses (such as SARS and COVID-19), pollen, toxic gases, etc. This system provides a safe, reliable and sustainable solution for a healthier indoor environment.

Ultra-Violet (UV) light is invisible to the human eye and is divided into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. UV-C is found within 100-280 nm range. Germicidal action is maximised at 265 nm with reductions on either side. Philips Low pressure UV-C lamps have their main emission at 254 nm where the action on DNA is 85% of the peak value and 80% on the IES curve. As a result, our germicidal lamps are extremely effective in breaking down the DNA of micro-organisms. This means that they cannot replicate and cause disease. READ MORE.

Now we are developing an even better solution. Far UVC solid state lamps emitting safely at 222 nm.

What makes you healthy, makes you happy…

Now that the pandemic is thankfully all but over, we know that people everywhere will be more aware of, and more concerned about, their health. Their general health, and every aspect of it.

We will be launching our new concept in 2024. Its called healthy-happy.me

Here’s a sneak preview. We are already talking to potential licensees and franchisees. Wherever you are in the world, if you are entrepreneurial, super-organised, and ambitious, talk to us, you might be just the partner we are looking for.
