 CYTOCHIP

.

Our story begins with a research project that helps astronauts for blood tests in space missions. Now we are down to the earth, transforming the technology for health diagnosis in clinics, pharmacies and patient homes. 

Followed by a decade of research and development, CytoChip’s first test solution, the ChipNow system, is ready to launch. Taking a minimal drop of blood, the ChipNow system provides simple and meaningful tests such as CBC within minutes.

WHY

 CHOOSE

?
Reliable

We treat data as a pursuit of truth. Therefore, we pursue novel testing as well as novel QC for data reliability. 


Simple

Knowing is the first step of healing and prevention. Our way is to make testing simple, so you can know sooner. 

Sustainable

Lowering cost and reducing waste, so that more people have access to testing. That is how we think sustainable.
