Attomarker’s COVID-19 Multiplex Antibody Tests

April 20, 2020

BY Alexander Kalis
GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR

Nigel Clarke, Chairman of Attomarker, discusses how the company is helping the fight against COVID-19 through its multiplex antibody tests.

Attomarker, an investee company of Milltrust’s British Innovation Fund, is an early-stage diagnostics company that has invented a new, simple to use, point-of-care blood testing device that can perform multiple tests from a single pinprick of blood in approximately five minutes. The patented Attomarker technology uses a disposable credit-card sized chip that slots into a handheld device docked to an iPhone and provides rapid testing for the healthcare professional and the consumer markets. Alongside its response to COVID-19, Attomarker is continuing its work towards developing tests for fatty liver disease (a precursor of type-2 diabetes), food allergy diagnosis and to distinguish between bacterial and viral infections.

Attomarker’s COVID-19 test utilises the same technology but the application is a through a specially designed device, the Attomarker Liscar 4.

Attomarker is currently seeking to immediately raise 7 million GBP of an expanded A round ahead of an anticipated B round of 15-20 million GBP later this year.

Attomarker was recently selected as a candidate for the Longitude Prize, an 8 million GBP award in the fight against anti-microbial resistance. Additionally, its technology is now part of an exhibition at the Science Museum in London.
