MedicQuant

MedicQuant is a spin-out from the Gothelf Lab at iNANO, Aarhus University, Denmark, built on more than 11 years of research. Its patent-pending platform uses DNA nanotechnology to measure small-molecule drug concentrations in whole blood at the point of care, with laboratory-comparable accuracy in about 10 minutes. Assays are being developed first for anticoagulants so clinicians can make faster decisions in acute stroke care, and the same platform has shown proof of concept for antibiotics, anticancer drugs, and antirheumatic drugs. A disposable flow-front immunoassay cartridge processes whole blood with minimal handling and has been rated easy or very easy to use in usability studies.
