DescriptioneBiogen is a new company set up to make microfluidic chips, initially for blood diagnosis but potentially for environmental and food testing. We are developing a new blood-testing technology that promises to improve healthcare treatments for cancer patients, post-operative care and monitor the health of babies in the womb. This new small-scale technology would rapidly measure blood characteristics to monitor for sepsis or toxins. We have completed the feasibility stage and are now in the prototype stage of our activities, which are strongly supported by pathologists in the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Trust (UHMBT) as well as scientists at Lancaster University. Our technology offers the opportunity to bring blood diagnostics into the ward that means the device can be used “by the bedside”, with more rapid results, much smaller amounts of blood (a thumb-prick), less risk of contamination, and low-cost diagnostics. We have completed all the ethical paperwork to begin our clinical trial by early July 2016.

Technology for further development/for manufacturing

We have completed the feasibility stage and are now in the prototype stage of our activities which are strongly supported by pathologists in the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Trust (UHMBT) as well as scientists at Lancaster University. Our technology offers the opportunity to bring blood diagnostics into the ward that means the device can be used “by the bedside”, with more rapid results, much smaller amounts of blood (a thumb-prick), less risk of contamination, and low-cost diagnostics. We are to begin our clinical trials from early July 2016.

We plan to offer a novel working lab prototype to further develop this for the pre-production stage and for manufacturing at the mass level.
