Rapid, portable, live bacterial cell detector

Cytecom是一家来自沃里克大学的创新型分拆公司，其技术将彻底改变细菌产品的测试过程。由于ICURe计划，我们能够用来自市场和企业的新信息指导我们的科学发现过程。这使我们能够确定对快速、可靠和准确的细菌检测仪的明确需求。目前（可靠的）方法需要48-72小时。这导致饮料、食品生产和医疗评估过程中的延迟和不确定性。我们的技术可以在不牺牲准确性的情况下，在一个开关（不到一个小时）的轻击下检测和识别活细菌。这是对现有技术的巨大改进。这笔资金将使我们能够利用我们的实验室原型探测器，制作一个紧凑的版本，可以在现场部署，为人们提供这些独特的功能，确保我们的食物和水的安全，并最终加速医疗专业人员的诊断过程。

Cytecom is an innovative new spin-out company from the University of Warwick with technology that will revolutionise the process of testing products for bacteria. As a result of the ICURe program we were able to guide our scientific discovery process with new information from markets and businesses. This allowed us to identify a clear need for a fast reliable and accurate bacteria detector. Current (reliable) methods require 48-72 hours. This causes delays and uncertainty during manufacture of beverages, food and during medical evaluations. Our technology allows the detection and identification of live bacteria at the flick of a switch (less than one hour) without sacrificing accuracy. This is a dramatic improvement on existing technologies. This funding will allow us to take our laboratory prototype detector and make a version which is compact and can be deployed in the field, providing these unique capabilities to the people who keep our food and water safe and ultimately accelerating diagnostic processes for medical professionals.
