Infection risk is increasing. Diagnosis can’t keep up.

Today, infection detection can still take 3-4 days and usually requires a full microbiology lab. During that delay, patients may receive the wrong first treatment, infections can spread, and antibiotic resistance can worsen.

GeneCapture invented a transformative solution.

Imagine: A new method that gives near-real time infection detection at the point-of-care

GeneCapture is revolutionizing the diagnosis of infections. Our CAPTURE technology identifies 200+ pathogens from a raw sample in one hour. In another 90 minutes, it determines the effective antimicrobial treatment without a centralized lab, cold chain, or specialized technician.

What this technology unlocks

We bring diagnostics to the patients, not samples to the lab. This advantage means that we can enable infection detection right away, in places that have never had that capability, including rural areas, schools, ships, airports, battlefields, and other points-of-care. The method can detect hundreds of pathogens in less than an hour and then determine which antibiotic works in another 90 minutes. All for less than a co-pay. Infection information can be shared globally and in real time. The transformation is happening.

Results in 95% less time at 80% less cost

“We want to make a BIG difference on a global scale. By reducing the time it takes to identify infection and providing an Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test on-site, we will change health care. Antimicrobial drugs are life savers – but only if they are used when needed; otherwise, they weaken our bodies to future threats. We bring fast decision-making directly to the patient for rapid, informed treatment.”
