powered by tailormade nanomachines
At roboticDNA we reimagine how protein biomarkers are detected.
Our mission is to develop a fast, reliable and affordable point-of-care test for the detection of protein biomarkers to empower researchers, healthcare professionals, and patients alike.
Existing products for biomarker quantification automate established lab assays with pipetting robots or microfluidics.
roboticDNA develops molecular machines that integrate the entire assay on the nanoscale.
This will allow us to deliver faster results, while saving on costs and resources.
