Scalable Sensing Platform for Point-of-Need Testing

• Microchip-based digital sensor technology platform that is highly scalable, flexible, and cost-effective.
• The researchers enable improved sensitivity by placing sensor microchips directly into liquid samples to perform rapid multiplexed measurements.
• The platform reduces product complexity, size, and costs, and improves performance.

OPPORTUNITY

• Point-of-need testing solutions can provide value in many applications, but point-of-need products must satisfy several requirements in order to see wide adoption:
  • Easy-to-use, fast results, sensitive, accurate, digital, connected, portable, reliable, scalable, cost-effective
• Achieving all of the requirements together is a challenge; any solution that does holds a competitive advantage.

STATUS

• Founders developed & de-risked core technology, created spin-off, with key IP (including 8 issued patents) to be licensed from U of T.
• Microchips and system de-risked through prototyping runs.
• Have strategic partners for commercial development.
• Paid proof-of-concept projects with 4 customers and interest from several other customers, in various markets.
