Oxford BioSensors Ltd
Oxford Biosensors Limited, is developing technology that will make it a leader in handheld diagnostics for lifescience applications.
The technology allows 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 of abuse.
- Clinical medicine checks for cholesterol, heart attack markers, liver and kidney disease markers, etc.
