Virus Monitoring in Air via Groundbreaking CRISPR Technology

DirectBio’s innovation is an amplification free CRISPR diagnostics to measure airborne viruses in indoor paces where most infections take place. Amplification free means that errors leading to false diagnostic results are minimized and the diagnostic is thus more precisely, faster, and cheaper.

Science & Technology

DirectBio is pioneering a new approach to molecular diagnostics based on CRISPR enzymes.

We harness the speed, specificity, and sensitivity of natural and AI-engineered CRISPR enzymes to create diagnostic assays that are simpler and more scalable than conventional PCR due to the need for fewer reagents, no RNA or DNA extraction, and no amplification or reverse transcription.

Applications

  • Detecting airborne acute Avian flu viruses in chicken coops and other animal stables.
  • Detecting airborne viruses in sensitive areas such as hospitals, schools, and nursery homes.
  • Detecting airborne viruses in biodefense.
