WHO WE ARE

Siemens researcher and privat investors founded EarlyBio in 2017 to acquire patents and rights on the Magnetic Flow Cytometry technology. The buy-out permits EarlyBio the development and global commercialization of eCyto cell function tests for the point-of-care. EarlyBio will provide functional single cell information to support clinical decision making in critical-care environments. To date, EarlyBio has raised a seed financing round.

eCyto-CARTRIDGE

The technology platform covers a variety of microfluidic and sensing functionalities which allow customised solutions for cell function testing, such as high dynamic range of cell concentration measurements or even integrated cell sorting. With a sheathless flow cytometry workflow no buffer reservoirs are required.

eCyto-INSTRUMENT

With our proprietary magnetic sensing method we can develop compact, robust, and low-energy consuming reader without need for complex actuators or optical read-out. Funding by the German BMBF to develop lab prototype reader and integrated workflows is gratefully acknowledged (project MRCyte).

GMR SENSOR

Quantitative detection of cell properties is performed with giant magnetoresistive sensors. The 2007 Nobel price in physics was awarded for the discovery of this effect. Functional packaging of the sensors is applied for efficient integration of sensors in moulded cartridges.

Innovation award for EarlyBio technology

AMA INNOVATION AWARD 2016

We are honoured to be recipients of the Innovation Award of the AMA Association of Sensor and Measurement for the scientific achievement and market relevance of the eCyto technology.
