Nanex is developing multiplex nucleic acid analysis
for point-of-care medical diagnostics

Nanex is developing a lab-on-a-chip solution for point-of-care medical diagnostics. Our solution is a low cost, low power, lightweight instrument well-suited for POC detection of pathogens and genetic markers. Our sensor array is capable of performing bioassays and molecular diagnostics on samples containing as few as three strands of nucleic acid through the use of PCR amplification. Analysis is accomplished using electrical interrogation of probes at low voltages. No optical components are needed. The micro-liter volumes of the integrated components minimize reagent use. Our probes recognize segments of nucleic acid directly so there is no need to label the analytes. Our technology will provide reliable identification of nucleic acids with single base mismatch selectivity.
