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. 1. Photonic Biosensor: The core component, featuring a photonic chip and a microfluidic cartridge enhanced           with Surfix’s proprietary nanocoatings.
  2. 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


The platform’s versatility opens doors to breakthroughs in various fields, including:

  • > Drug development
  • > Antibiotic susceptibility testing
  • > Diagnosis and monitoring of diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular conditions
