Problem
Conventional diagnostic testing often involves multiple steps, increasing the risk of errors and turnaround time, especially in decentralized or point-of-care settings. Existing sample collection methods can be cumbersome, require trained personnel, and may not be suitable for all sample types or testing platforms. This complexity hinders accessibility and widespread adoption of rapid diagnostic testing.
Solution
ReadyGo Diagnostics offers a suite of innovative diagnostic solutions designed to simplify and decentralize testing. Their core product, snap collect, is an all-in-one sample collection and preparation device that streamlines the initial steps of diagnostic workflows. This disposable tool combines sample collection, precise buffer release, and sample processing into a single, user-friendly unit, minimizing handling and potential contamination. ReadyGo also provides the Geo™ platform, a portable molecular testing device for rapid analysis in near-patient settings, and Snapshot, an integrated collect-and-test disposable for consumer use. The Flex™ service enables custom assay development on ReadyGo's reagent platform, facilitating the transfer of research assays to point-of-care applications.
Target Audience
ReadyGo's products target diagnostic companies, healthcare providers, researchers, and consumers seeking accessible, rapid, and decentralized testing solutions for human healthcare, agriculture, veterinary diagnostics, and forensic applications.
