Products

Field-deployable autonomous pathogen and chemical detection system

Integrated instrument that autonomously collects and concentrates samples, performs multiplexed molecular detection on-board and transmits encrypted results to a cloud platform for remote monitoring, alerting and analytics.

Automated sequencing library preparation platform

Hands-free instrument that performs automated nucleic acid extraction and prepares sequencing libraries (metagenomic, pooled, whole-genome) for downstream sequencing workflows, reducing hands-on time and standardizing preparation.


Services

Custom assay and sensor development

Design and development of bespoke molecular assays and physical sensors for biological and chemical targets with collaborative project design and integration support for deployed systems.

On-site deployment and integration for continuous monitoring

Site assessment, device installation, network integration (IoT connectivity), configuration of autonomous sampling and commissioning of remote alerting for water systems, process lines and environmental monitoring points.

Biosurveillance program implementation and analytics

Program design and operational support for community-level wastewater and environmental surveillance, including trend analysis, early-warning reporting and integration with public-health stakeholders.

Cloud analytics, dashboarding and alerting services

Encrypted cloud platform for remote access to device data, trend visualization, device management, scheduling and customizable alerting with analytic interpretation and predictive models.

Bioprocessing monitoring implementation

Deployment and monitoring services tailored for bioprocessing environments, including integration with manufacturing utilities, inline sampling schedules and contamination early-warning workflows linked to quality systems.
