mBio’s technology expertise is based on our backgrounds in laser instrumentation, bioassay development, and optical component manufacture. The company was founded by scientists from Nobel Prize winning laboratories at the University of Colorado and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, with core technology expertise in low-level light measurement. mBio has augmented this founding group with a world-class team of scientists and engineers with expertise in biological assay development and fluidic cartridge design. The company builds on 8 years of experience in successful product launches and technology commercialization.

mBio System

mBio System
The mBio system is based on patent-protected, planar waveguide technology coupled with consumer electronic components in a simple, robust configuration.

  • Inexpensive:  Cost models analogous to cell phones rather than clinical instruments
  • Proven:  Assays built around traditional immunoassay, fluorescence microscopy, or nucleic acid hybridization.  Core multiplexed waveguide technology has received previous FDA 510(k) clearance.
  • Panels for Syndromes: Low density microarrays with panels of markers and internal controls incorporated in a disposable cartridge.
  • Patent Protected: Extensive U.S. and international patent coverage.

Integrated Sample Handling and Detection
Integration of biological sample preparation with the detection is a primary focus of mBio’s innovation and product development and is fundamental to our sample-to-answer approach. The company has developed proprietary technologies that combine clean-up and labeling, with a specific focus on direct detection applications. Potential partners can learn more about these technologies by contacting mBio.
