As many as 80,000 people die annually from preventable diagnostic errors in the United States
Existing molecular diagnostic testing is infrastructure intensive. Laboratories require reliable power, equipment, trained personnel, and time.
Existing point-of-care diagnostic tools fall short.
Diagnostics are Healthcare
We have to do better; patients need faster and more accessible answers.
The first step in infectious disease treatment is identifying the actual disease. Patients need accurate and easy-to-understand answers to their medical questions. We know firsthand how important it is for patients to have the ability to receive a diagnosis.
70% of today's medical decisions depend on laboratory test results.
Patients with limited access to laboratory and diagnostic tests cannot make adequate decisions about their care. Our laboratory-quality molecular diagnostic testing platform revolutionizes point-of-care testing.
In order to create a new generation of diagnostic tools, we broke apart diagnostics and examined each unique part...
Step 1
Sample Acquisition
The process of procuring a specimen for examination or testing.
Step 2
Extraction
The process of purifying genetic material (DNA/RNA) from a biological sample by using physical and/or chemical methods to separate DNA/RNA from cell membranes, proteins, and other unwanted materials.
The process of isolating unique and specific genetic material from a sample and copying it multiple times to make it easier to find in a diagnostic test.
