Products
Portable point-of-care nucleic acid amplification instrument (prototype)
Briefcase-sized, battery-powered instrument prototype that performs automated thermal cycling and fluorescence readout of capillary-format samples for nucleic acid detection.
X-Bar
A small, battery-powered point-of-care system designed for mobile deployment, limited infrastructure settings, and military operations. It offers a broad test menu for rapid on-site testing of pathogens and environmental conditions.
X-Bar Research Prototype
The first research prototype demonstrating how the actual instrument will perform thermal cycling.
Instant PCR
A carousel-based thermal cycling system designed to perform rapid PCR temperature transitions.
