Scroll to follow the cartridge from the counter to the analyzer and on to the app.
It starts with a small, single-use cartridge.
About the size of a lip balm, it holds one small sample.
Inside the cartridge
One standard chip at the heart of every test.
At its centre sits BioMEMS' patent-pending biosensor chip. The chip never changes; the chemistry for each test is added to its wells.
The sensor disc
Twelve wells, one sample.
Each well can be prepared with the chemistry for a different test. Nothing on the outside changes from one test panel to the next.
Sealed back into one small cartridge.
Everything stays inside a single-use cartridge that goes straight into the analyzer.
The analyzer
Upright, into the top of the analyzer.
The handheld reader takes the cartridge through a single opening on top and runs its tests.
The cartridge-to-analyzer interface is shown as a concept visualization.
No laboratory. No lab skills.
Compact and portable, the analyzer is designed for use outside the laboratory by people without laboratory training.
The app
Results on a paired phone.
The analyzer sends the measurement to the app, where results can be viewed and shared with a doctor or a medical record.

The app, analyzer and cartridge are the BioMEMS products, working together as one connected system.
Software that learns from each test cartridge to improve how results are read and reported is in the design stage.
BioMEMS platform is available to partners that make, market or offer diagnostics as a service or for joint development for commercialization.
Healthy aging
A healthy-aging test for home or gym.
One sample, ten health insights, results on the phone. It is built by converting laboratory tests that are already FDA-approved to the BioMEMS platform, which shortens the path to market.

The question
But how do you know it’s actually working?
Supplements. Workouts. Eating right. But how do you know it's actually working? BioMEMS Diagnostics.
Application development
One platform, different needs.
Fitness
Effort is easy to measure. Effect is not.
Athletic optimization and injury recovery are two sides of the same coin. The BioMEMS fitness optimization test allows individuals to optimize their performance and stamina by manipulating both training and nutrition. For people who train seriously, that brings nutrigenomics into the conversation alongside pace and load.
First product in development
Infection
When infection is the question, time matters.
Infectious disease is a priority for the BioMEMS platform, including sexually transmitted and hospital-acquired infections, where answers at the point of care can support earlier decisions.
Area under exploration
Emergency & defense
Answers in the field, not only in the lab.
Emergency rooms, ambulances, accident scenes, remote clinics and military medicine all need actionable data fast. A handheld analyzer and a single-use cartridge are designed to work where a laboratory is not.
Planned Application Development
Animal health
Adapting human biomarkers and assays for dogs, to support human-level care for man’s best friend.
A leading animal-health company has engaged BioMEMS to develop a canine cognitive-health test, delivered on the same platform: the same cartridge, the same analyzer, the same app.
Feasibility study commenced 2025
