Pro Test Diagnostics AB
Umeå-based diagnostics company developing a laboratory test kit to detect autologous blood transfusion (autologous blood doping). The company applies proteomics-based methods (liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry), sample-preparation workflows, multivariate statistics and planned AI tools to identify biomarkers associated with long-term frozen storage of red blood cells. The organisation collaborates with accredited anti-doping laboratories and has progressed through pilot production, validation and funding rounds.
