Handheld Biosensor Reader

Ohmx's electronic biosensor reader is a low cost, electronic device that utilizes bioelectronic detection developed primarily for blood samples (<10 uL). The compact, portable biosensor reader, which converts the cartridge’s electronic output into an easy to understand test result, can be used at the point-of-care and especially at home.  After a sample is applied to a biosensor chip, it is inserted into the reader, which is designed to automatically and simultaneously detect multiple targets and display the numerical results on an electronic read-out. The Ohmx device will support multiple communications capabilities (including USB, wireless, ethernet, and modem capabilities) to interface with existing e-Health infrastructure.

Current diagnostic testing equipment occupies tabletops or entire rooms, requires highly trained operators, and costs hundred of thousands of dollars.  Collected test samples generally must be sent to specialized facilities, increasing the time to obtain test results.  In contrast, the Ohmx reader is small and portable, designed with a size and cost to enable its use in multiple applications at the point-of-care and is comparable in size and simplicity to a blood glucose meter.
