Scope Fluidics develops innovative projects in the field of diagnostics and health care. Scope Fluidics was established in 2010 in the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences with the aim of creating solutions for medicine based on microfluidic technologies. The company cooperates with the academia, and integrates the points of view of medicine and business to develop innovative solutions with a high market potential. Since 2017, Scope Fluidics S.A. has been listed on the NewConnect market. The company's business model provides for the development and business verification of a project, followed by the establishment of a special purpose vehicle within which the entire project is developed.
Currently, the Scope Fluidics Group consists of two SPVs: Curiosity Diagnostics Sp. z o.o. and Bacteromic Sp. z o.o., established in order to develop their respective projects.
The organisation as a whole creates an energetic, stimulating environment in which social needs and specific market requirements are satisfied with effective solutions. The source of these innovative ideas is the cooperation of physicians, medical personnel, project managers, engineers and scientists.
Scope Fluidics founded Curiosity Diagnostics to create the PCR|ONE system that delivers the fastest bacterial and viral pathogen detection in the world.
This fully automated procedure identifies up to 20 distinct pathogens and drug-resistant genes.
The emergence and rapid spread of drug resistance among bacteria constitutes a major threat to public health worldwide. In the absence of new antibiotics, better diagnostics is the only solution. We are now developing an automated culturing system delivering the most comprehensive information on bacterial susceptibility to all known antibiotics and on the resistance mechanisms.
Between 2011 and 2014 we developed a prototype of a vitro diagnostic system performing multiple biochemistry assays from a single droplet of finger prick blood.
The system comprises Scope’s proprietary, disposable microfluidic devices: for the collection of micro-samples of blood and a cartridge with multiple reagents for the assay panel. In order to validate the system, we constructed a pilot production line for manufacturing of disposable cartridges.
The system assays several parameters in less than twenty minutes from sample collection and is now being introduced to production by our Client.

The BacterOMIC system, developed by the Scope Fluidics Group, has received a European CE marking certificate for in vitro diagnostic devices, which approves it for use on the European Union market. A modern diagnostic device, developed by a team of Polish microbiologists and engineers has undergone clinical tests of the first diagnostic panel. The tests confirmed the functionality of the BacterOMIC system in diagnosing the drug susceptibility of bacteria causing a number of infections, including in the respiratory system, blood, urinary tract and skin. As emphasized by doctors and WHO experts[1], antibiotic resistance is one of the...
We are always open to hear about real-life problems in medicine, especially if they are caused by the lack of or by hampered access to medical information or diagnostics. If you are a practitioner and see a potential idea for more effective treatment through better diagnostics we will be more than eager to hear from you.
If you have an idea for a solution for a real-life challenge in medicine or diagnostics and you would like to turn it into a product, we may be able to help with our experience and with our technical, legal and patent resources.
We accept orders for efficient development of diagnostic systems, starting from the very idea of a product. We also help with the development or optimization of existing solutions.
We cherish talent and passion for engineering. If you love solving technical problems – please contact us, we might be hiring!
We offer attractive asset returns for our stakeholders. We create value through developing diagnostic systems that target the most important challenges in human healthcare today.
