Biosensia

Biosensia is a point of care in vitro diagnostics company that has a novel point of care platform, RapiPlex, available for licensing.

RapiPlex combines highly innovative technologies to produce a practical, rapid, multiplexing point of care (POC) in vitro diagnostics (IVD) platform, enabling access to a broad range of diagnostic applications.

The RapiPlex component chip and cartridge system are compatible with a variety of common biological sample types, including whole blood, serum, saliva, urine and nasal/genital swabs.

The RapiPlex platform integrates three technologies:

A multi-channel fluidic chip
Robust, well established fluorescence immunoassay systems
An integrated fluorescence optical reader, providing a numerical, easy to interpret read-out of results
Prototypes of each component are either already developed or under development. Proof of principle has been achieved using demonstration assays for drugs of abuse in saliva and cardiac markers in serum/whole blood.

RapiPlex is suitable for use in all immunoassay formats and for multiple POC analytical applications in markets including infectious disease, drugs of abuse testing, cardiac markers through food and environment to clinical, medical and security.
