Glyconics®

Shaping the future of medical diagnostics

Diagnostic Testing Plays a
Major Role In Modern Medicine

Supporting up to 70% of clinical decisions. A massive global market, combined with an ongoing desire to detect diseases as early as possible,  makes novel diagnostic technology a highly fertile area for investment.

Why We Do it

Glyconics® are supporters of patient involvement and advocating patient self-care and self-monitoring. We are pioneers of a new generation of diagnostics that can identify disease biomarkers in minutes at point-of-care and enable patients and physicians to work together in monitoring disease progression.

How we do it

Glyconics® exploits the ability of Infrared light to produce distinctive molecular ‘fingerprints’ for healthy vs non-healthy samples. This is the first time IR Spectroscopy has been miniaturised to deliver accurate results in minutes.

What We Do

Glyconics® is developing a range of proprietary handheld hardware devices with integrated algorithms for use at point-of-care to produce results in minutes.

Sectors We Cover

Health providers globally are demanding improved Point of Care diagnosis. We are initially targeting Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) & Diabetes, the third and seventh causes of death worldwide and others to follow.
