Photonic diagnostics platform with lab-level precision
Surfix’s mission is to advance global health by delivering accurate, accessible, and affordable diagnostic solutions for disease detection and management, specifically in underserved Point-of-Care (POC) testing segments.
To achieve this goal, Surfix has developed a photonic diagnostics platform that delivers exceptional sensitivity, accuracy, and a broad dynamic range. This cutting-edge technology enables diagnostics with precision surpassing traditional laboratory standards – a POCT with beyond lab-level precision.
Driving Healthcare Forward
Surfix’s objective is to continuously enhance the platform, ensuring it remains easy to use while offering reliable and sensitive detection of a wide array of biomarkers. By doing so, Surfix is committed to elevating healthcare standards and making advanced diagnostics accessible globally.
Testing at the Point-of-Care
Obtaining fast and accurate diagnostic results for a patient’s health status can be challenging and complex. Delays in testing can significantly affect the quality of life, societal outcomes, and healthcare resource utilization (HCRU).
Key Statistics:
- > Approximately 70% of medical decisions today rely on laboratory test results.
- > Most tests focus on a single biomarker.
- > Average laboratory test result turnaround time: several days.
- > Average cost per single biomarker test: €40.
It’s time to change the paradigm!
POC testing offers a rapid, decentralized, and cost-effective alternative to traditional lab tests. It simplifies the diagnostic process, making advanced healthcare accessible even in resource-limited settings.
Point-of-care testing has already reshaped the healthcare landscape and continues to drive transformative change. With the ability to provide immediate results, POC testing empowers better decision-making, enhances patient outcomes, and reduces healthcare costs.
Game-Changing Technology
Surfix co-develops POC tests with its partners, leveraging its innovative photonic diagnostics platform that integrates six state-of-the-art technologies and consists of the following key components:
- 1. Photonic Biosensor: The core component, featuring a photonic chip and a microfluidic cartridge enhanced with Surfix’s proprietary nanocoatings.
- 2. Dedicated Desktop Reader: A compact and efficient device that works seamlessly with the biosensor.
These technologies, each with a proven track record, are unified in Surfix’s platform to make the seemingly impossible possible for POC testing.
Expanding Applications
