Technology

Portable diagnostics platform – No blood No lab

Innovation in salivary diagnostics

Our proprietary microfluidic system enables easy saliva sampling and analysis with no tools and no laboratory equipment. Our tests have the same accuracy and sensitivity as standard lab-based immunoassays, yet in a simple to use and portable format. In combination with our portable reader and software platform, we enable frequent monitoring of hormone levels, unlocking the unexplored potential of hormone data for several different health and wellness applications. Comparing with the industry standard method of shipping out samples for analysis in the lab, our innovative technology opens up a new realm of possibilities in the field of Human Performance.
