The Technology
FluoretiQ’s platform is called NANOPLEX and has the potential to identify and enumerate bacteria at the point-of-care. Mr Saeb-Parsy explains “The work carried out by FluoretiQ using their NANOPLEX technology platform paves the way for rapid and accurate diagnosis of UTIs and the identification of the causative organism. This allows more appropriate and tailored antibiotic use rather than our current practice of initiating antibiotics whilst awaiting the results of microscopy and culture which can often take up to 72 hours or longer.“
