Milltrust International is proud to be supporting the British Innovation Fund‘s investee company Attomarker Ltd in the fight against Covid-19 testing currently underway at St Thomas’s Hospital in London.
Milltrust is seeking to close a funding round of £5m (extended Series A) in the coming months ahead of £15-50m (Series B) to follow after.
Attomarker technology will allow a rapid test for antibodies in the patient’s blood to five surface antigens and a simultaneous measurement of the inflammatory biomarker, C-reactive protein. The results of each individual test will be available in around five minutes. If successful, we will be able to answer the following questions about the patient:
• Is the patient sick and raising an immune response to the virus?
• Is the patient’s immune response going to be protective?
• Has the patient recovered, no longer sick but protected?
Professor Shaw is working in collaboration with Professor Chris Hyde of the Exeter Medical School and Professor Jonathan Edgeworth at St Thomas’s Hospital Centre for Clinical Infection and Diagnostics. This latter is one of the technology assessment centres contributing to the government’s response to the pandemic.

About Attomarker
Attomarker has launched a new, simple to use, point-of-care blood testing device that can perform up to eight simultaneous tests from a single pin-prick of blood in less than 5 minutes. The patented Attomarker technology uses a disposable credit-card sized chip that slots into a handheld device docked to an iPhone that provides rapid testing for the healthcare professional and the consumer markets. Attomarker was selected as a candidate for the Longitude Prize, a 10 million GBP award in the fight against anti-microbial resistance. It is now part of a permanent exhibition at the Science Museum in London. Work has begun at the behest of the UK Government to develop a test for coronavirus, as well as a proposal for TB in urine and blood – this will be mixed with HIV.
