Respiratory superbugs
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a type of bacteria that can infect people with long-term lung problems. If it isn’t quickly treated with the right antibiotics, the bacteria can form protective layers called biofilms. These biofilms make the infection very hard to get rid of.
Over 400 million at risk worldwide
People with COPD and bronchiectasis are especially vulnerable to respiratory superbugs.
Repeated hospital visits
Respiratory superbugs that are not treated with the right antibiotic can cause permanent lung damage, increasing healthcare costs.
Rapid testing at the point of care
Nanodecal offers the first test to identify bacteria in sputum within minutes. A reagent liquefies the sample, and a rapid test detects bacteria. These tests can be used anywhere in healthcare, making them ideal for guiding antibiotic treatments.
Enabling precision
Nanodecal’s rapid test identifies bacteria quickly, enabling personalized treatments that are faster and more effective.
Sample liquefaction for point of care detection
Sputum samples, which contain bacteria causing lung infections, is thick and nearly solid, making point-of-care analysis difficult. Nanodecal solves this problem with a reagent that liquefies sputum in just 1-2 minutes. Patent WO2021224529A1
At the point of care
Complete liquefaction with our reagent that does not require laboratory equipment.
Multiple applications
Preserves bacteria and biomarkers for detection with immunoassays. Keeps leukocytes intact for detection with flow cytometry.
A new antigen test for rapid lung diagnosis
Antibody-coated nanoparticles are contact-transferred, overcoming the limitations of lateral flow tests. They are produced using our proprietary method, protected under patent WO2021048087A1.
High sensitivity and specificity
Thanks to the simultaneous detection of multiple antigens of the same pathogen.
Our Team
We are putting together a multidisciplinary team to bring Nanodecal's breakthrough biotech to market. Together, we will make a significant impact in the field of respiratory diagnostic tools.
