Coventry Diagnostics
A biomedical research incubator focused on development and commercialization of biofluid-based diagnostic assays and services (primarily saliva and urine). Activities emphasize assay development, mass-spectrometry-based analytical methods, sample collection and preservation processes, toxicology testing, lead toxicity detection, and cancer treatment sensitivity testing, with an organizational model that spins off subsidiary laboratories and forms partnerships for distribution and commercialization.

Products
Subsidiary diagnostic laboratory (toxicology, lead testing, cancer sensitivity)
An R&D-spawned subsidiary laboratory model providing toxicology panels, environmental heavy metal analysis, lead toxicity assays in saliva, and cancer treatment sensitivity diagnostics intended for distribution to partners and end-users.
Drugs-of-Abuse and Therapeutic Drugs Test
A diagnostic capability to determine the use of over fifty illegal and/or therapeutic drugs via single saliva or urine samples.
Saliva Lead Toxicity Test
A testing capability designed to detect lead in saliva with high correlation to blood lead levels.
5-FU Resistance Indication Test
A diagnostic capability to determine a resistance indication to 5-FU using saliva or urine samples.
5FU Metabolism Test
An inexpensive test to evaluate a cancer patient's ability to metabolize 5-fluorouracil (5FU) to prevent severe health risks and toxicities.
Saliva Preservation Technology
A proprietary preservation method to preserve saliva significantly longer than samples can currently be held or stored for diagnoses.
