Problem
Traditional laboratory testing of liquids often requires separate devices for different analyses, increasing equipment costs and workflow complexity. Conventional methods can also be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and may not be suitable for point-of-care applications.
Solution
Anvajo provides a portable point-of-care solution for liquid analysis, integrating spectroscopy and digital holographic microscopy into a single device. The fluidlab platform combines a compact spectrometer with an automated cell counter, enabling a variety of analyses, including absorbance, scatterlight, and time-series measurements, as well as automated cell counting and staining-free viability measurements. Dedicated sample carriers support test pre-analytics by processing and delivering the fluid to be analyzed. The system provides researchers and clinicians with rapid, accurate, and location-independent measurements, facilitating faster decision-making and improved outcomes.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes researchers, scientists, veterinarians, and medical professionals who require rapid, accurate, and portable solutions for liquid analysis in various applications, including cell culture, veterinary diagnostics, and point-of-care testing.
