DNA results anytime, anywhere

Spartan Bioscience’s vision is bringing the power of DNA testing to everyone.

Company

Spartan Bioscience is the leader in point-of-care DNA testing. The Spartan RX is the first complete sample-to-result, point-of-care DNA testing system in medicine. It is a fully integrated DNA collection, extraction and analysis platform, with an intuitive interface that is easy to operate—no laboratory training required. For the first time, healthcare providers and their patients can get DNA results on demand.

Clinical need

In the same way that mainframe computers gave way to personal computers, high-throughput DNA testing systems in central labs are giving way to decentralized POC devices. It may take days to weeks to get results from a central lab. In contrast, Spartan’s POC devices provide results on demand. Faster results save money and improve care.
