OUR MISSION
mFluiDx is developing a point-of-care molecular test - the “SIMPLE CHIP”, that is multiples lower cost than existing solutions. It will also be best in class for speed and multi-target panel testing. Successful deployment will allow rapid decentralized immediate screening on-site (small clinics, pharmacies, etc.) and help contain outbreaks, with high sensitivity and specificity similar to PCR.

COMPARISON
OUR TECHNOLOGY
-
Low cost: microfluidics technology enables an extremely low-cost consumable cartridge and reader instrument.
-
Multi-target testing: a single disposable cartridge can detect multiple infectious agents (viral and or bacterial) from a patient in one single test.
-
Fast: 7~15min turnaround
-
High sensitivity/specificity: we are using isothermal amplification that has equivalent performance to PCR.
-
Automated: sample-to-answer including sample prep is fully automated.
