QuantuMDx Group Limited is a dynamic and innovative devices company utilising our Q-Technology and expertise to move complex diagnostic and sequencing technologies into everyday use.
Our first two cost effective devices are Q-POC – a handheld device for rapid disease detection at the point of care (POC) and Q-SEQ a bench-top optics-free DNA sequencing system able to sequence an entire genome in under a day.
What does Q-POC look like?
The Q-POC device is the size of cell phone, or an iPod, into which a disease specific cartridge such as for TB, malaria or HIV is inserted, much like an SD card. A pin-prick of blood, a drop of saliva or a drop of urine is all that is needed for a successful diagnosis. An electronic display records the result in an easy to understand format. No mess, no contamination and results in minutes.
Q-POC benefits
Q-POC is simple to operate but offers fast, accurate and cost effective testing where treatment decisions can be made in partnership with patients. Patients benefit by having their results immediately, doctors benefit from being able to prescribe the correct treatment with out delay. Medical funders benefit from considerably lower costs compared to conventional testing.
Simple outside, highly complex inside
At the heart of our device is a wealth of complex technologies including nanowires, microfluidic technologies and novel, patent protected, molecular biology technology – all integrated to facilitate an impressive array of detection capabilities.
