Abionic

Swiss medical technology company

Abionic is a Swiss medical technology company that specializes in the development and production of rapid diagnostic tests. The company is known for its innovative in vitro diagnostics (IVD) platform, the abioSCOPE, which is designed to provide quick and accurate results for various medical conditions.

Overview

Abionic's Logo

Abionic was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland. The company focuses on providing healthcare professionals with tools that enable rapid and reliable diagnosis at the point of care. Abionic's technology is based on nanofluidic biosensors, which allow for the detection of biomarkers in a matter of minutes.

Technology

The core technology of Abionic is the abioSCOPE, a portable diagnostic device that uses disposable IVD CAPSULES to perform tests. The abioSCOPE is designed to be user-friendly and can be operated by healthcare professionals in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, and even in the field.

The abioSCOPE is a compact device that utilizes nanofluidic technology to analyze small volumes of biological samples, such as blood or saliva. The device is capable of delivering results in as little as five minutes, making it ideal for situations where time is critical.

IVD CAPSULES

Abionic's IVD CAPSULES are single-use cartridges that contain all the necessary reagents for a specific test. These capsules are designed to be easily inserted into the abioSCOPE, where the sample is automatically processed and analyzed.

Applications

Abionic's technology is used in a variety of medical applications, including the detection of sepsis, ferritin levels, and COVID-19.

Sepsis Detection

The abioSCOPE can be used to detect sepsis by measuring the levels of procalcitonin (PCT) in the blood. Early detection of sepsis is crucial for effective treatment and can significantly improve patient outcomes.

Ferritin Measurement

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body, and its levels can indicate various health conditions, including iron deficiency anemia and hemochromatosis. The abioSCOPE provides a rapid and accurate measurement of ferritin levels, aiding in the diagnosis and management of these conditions.

COVID-19 Testing
