Problem
Traditional immunoassay testing often requires sending samples to a central lab, resulting in long turnaround times that delay clinical decision-making and increase costs. Point-of-care testing can address this issue, but existing solutions often lack the versatility and throughput of central lab equipment.
Solution
Picodya is developing the B-Matrix system, a point-of-care diagnostic platform capable of running both immunoassays and molecular assays with lab-quality results. The system utilizes PicoFluidics technology within disposable diagnostic cartridges to process multiple patient samples simultaneously, using small volumes of reagents. The B-Matrix system is fully automated, handling the process from sample to results, and can process up to 120 assays per hour. This rapid turnaround time enables healthcare providers to make faster, more informed decisions, improving patient outcomes and reducing overall healthcare costs.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes clinical settings such as hospitals and clinics, as well as life science research facilities that require rapid and versatile diagnostic testing capabilities.
