CSEM collaborates with innovative Swiss start-up MOMM Diagnostics to introduce revolutionary preeclampsia test

CSEM’s Tools for Life Sciences team is partnering with MOMM Diagnostics to develop a cutting-edge point-of-care solution for preeclampsia diagnostics. This ground-breaking multiplexed sensing device simultaneously detects two crucial biomarkers associated with this prevalent disease. The solution uses enzyme-linked lateral flow immunoassays (ELLFIA) with ion-sensitive electrodes in a disposable test cartridge. Alongside the development of the disposable test, a specialized digital readout device has been created. This integrated approach offers a point-of-care diagnostic test platform that is 50 to 100 times more sensitive than traditional lateral flow immunoassays. MOMM Diagnostics’ comprehensive solution for rapid and reliable blood testing holds immense potential as a game-changer in clinical settings.
