Unparalleled, pico-powered technology for multiple panel testing

The B-Matrix system is the first point-of-care hybrid solution that can run IVD tests—both immunoassays and molecular assays—at lab-comparable quality. At the heart of the system is novel Pico-fluidic technology. This proprietary technology allows it to work at high capacity, testing for a panel of markers simultaneously, but using just pico volumes of reagents and multiple controls. This enables ultra-fast results (as fast as 15 min.) but at a fraction of the cost of comparable tests. The technology is scalable, so it suits all settings and throughputs, from provider offices to large-scale testing at airports.

The Diagnostic Pack

The unique factor of the disposable diagnostic pack cartridge (DP) is the only Pico-fluidic chip in the world that can run up to hundreds of patient samples, each for a panel of syndromic tests from the same chip. Picodya’s technology efficiently uses pico-volumes of reagent in each test, so significant costs are saved.

The Assay Pack

The single-use assay pack can test full ‘wet’ protocols of blood, urine, saliva, and nasopharyngeal swabs. Multiple assay packs, each containing a single patient sample, can be tested at once—each per the selected range of tests.

How it works

1

A sample is collected from the patient and loaded into the AP
2

The system extracts the slide from the AP and places it on top of the DP to receive a print of a thousand-capture reagent droplet matrix (antigen/antibody)
3

The slide returns to the AP. It is washed, blocked and the patient’s sample is administered over the sample-designated area on the slide
4

The slide moves to the DP again and receives a printed droplet matrix with the reporting reagents
5

The slide moves to the optic system that captures the fluorescence reaction
6

Image processing is performed and results are processed and presented
