Point-of-care molecular diagnostics for infectious diseases
Access to reliable diagnostic testing remains limited in many parts of the world, forcing clinicians to treat infectious diseases without knowing the exact cause. 80SBio develops QuantR, a point-of-care system that brings lab-grade molecular testing directly to patients. Using its UniqRT chemistry, the technology runs parallel RT-qPCR directly from raw patient samples, removing complex preparation steps. A low-cost cartridge and compact reader allow healthcare workers to load a finger-prick sample and test for multiple infectious diseases at once. This enables fast, affordable diagnostics and helps clinicians deliver the right treatment even in low-resource settings.
