Oxford BioSensors Ltd

Oxford BioSensors Ltd went into receivership in 2009.

Oxford BioSensors were developing technology for handheld diagnostics for lifescience applications.

The technology allowed a number of chemicals to be quantitatively measured in less than a minute on a disposable, low cost, test strip. A hand held instrument reads and records the data. The measurements could be in blood or other fluids, and examples of applications would include:

• A test strip for overdose victims to determine which of the top ten drug candidates are present in the person's blood.
  
• An instant test to check for presence of drugs abuse.
  
• Clinical medicine checks for cholesterol, heart attack markers, liver and kidney disease markers, etc.
