Innovation

Molecular testing without the lab

We’re developing GenePlex™, an instrument-free DNA/RNA amplification platform powered by our proprietary RINAA™ isothermal amplification chemistry.

Our technology

Laboratory-grade testing, wherever it’s needed

GenePlex™ is designed to amplify and detect DNA and RNA without temperature control or laboratory instruments. Our aim is to bring laboratory-grade molecular testing to places where laboratories don’t exist.

RINAA™ chemistry

Enzymatically engineered amplification chemistry: thermostable, rapid (under 30 minutes) and highly tolerant to inhibitors.

GenePlex™ platform

Microfluidics combined with RINAA™ chemistry for multiplexed detection, from sample to colorimetric result.

How it works

From sample to answer in four steps

Illustration: sterile swab and sample tube
1

Collect

Collect the sample directly, with no complex preparation.

Illustration: swab swirled in a tube of RINAA buffer
2

Mix

Combine the sample with our RINAA™ buffer to inactivate pathogens, lyse cells and release DNA/RNA.

3

Load

Transfer the mixture to a microfluidic chip preloaded with RINAA™ chemistry and incubate at room temperature.

Interpret

Read a colour change by eye for multi-target detection at a glance.

Key features

Designed for the real world

Power-free operation

Designed for low-resource and off-grid settings, without electricity or lab infrastructure.

Aiming for lab-grade sensitivity

Developed to approach lab-based methods without thermocyclers.

Multiplex detection

Designed to detect multiple targets in a single test.

Direct sample testing

Minimal sample preparation, with no separate purification step.

Visual results

A clear colour change that can be read by eye.

Scalable technology

Designed for cost-effective manufacturing and wide distribution.

Applications

Where GenePlex™ could make a difference

Healthcare

Point-of-care testing for remote clinics and resource-limited settings (a future market for the platform).

Environmental monitoring

Field-deployable testing for water quality, soil and environmental monitoring.

Veterinary and animal health

On-site animal disease detection for farms, wildlife and veterinary practices.

Food safety

Supply chain verification and food safety testing.

Defence and space

Diagnostics for extreme and resource-limited environments.

These are potential future markets for technology in development, not services we currently offer.
