[nanoPost] Next Generation Mobile Lab Solutions

Company USA

Testing in the life sciences today is generally a complicated, time-consuming process requiring the use of bulky, expensive equipment. There is a genuine need for less expensive diagnostic techniques providing real-time mobile diagnostics and analytics.

By combining printed optoelectronics with microfluidic technology, the company has developed a revolutionary class of lab-on-a-chip systems, enabling for the first time mobile analytics and diagnostics at the point of use.

the company develops printed optoelectronic solutions that take lab-on-a-chip devices to the next level by integrating an optoelectronic readout system into the chip. As a result, the user needs only the disposable chip and a small, portable reader; no complicated or bulky equipment is required. The chip enables real-time point-of-use detection capabilities for chemical and biological analytes. One chip can perform multiple tests in parallel.

The company Platform enables solutions in a variety of market segments.

Medical Diagnostics

the company's lab-on-a-chip technology can be used to provide point-of-care medical diagnosis, such as for early disease detection. Instead of waiting several days for a lab to process the sample, patients can receive instant results in the doctor's office or a clinic.

Environmental Testing

In an age of increasing environmental concerns, water and food supplies are routinely tested for the presence of contaminants. Current testing methods are complex and time-consuming, and can detect only one item at a time. The  Platform enables immediate results for a comprehensive battery of tests, allowing a much faster response time to contamination.

Chemical/ Biological Defense

In the event of potential chemical or biological contamination, instant response is critical. Conventional testing requires time and highly skilled users, who may not be available when and where needed. the company's technology allows such tests to be performed by nearly anyone.
