Moving molecular diagnostics to the point of care
80k
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.
We need diagnostic testing anytime, anywhere, anyplace, and for anyone.
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.
Step 3
Amplification
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.
Step 4
Detection
The process of identifying a result from a diagnostic test.
Step 5
Communication
The process of communicating diagnostic results to a patient, physician, scientist, or others.
...and then we put diagnostics back together to create SeekIt™
Generation SEEKIt™
SeekIt™: a new generation of molecular diagnostic testing 7 years in the making
We innovated a creative solution to bring an equipment-free, laboratory-quality tool directly to the patient.
Our diagnostic innovations are driven by the World Health Organization's ASSURED criteria for point-of-care systems.
