Scope Fluidics is a hub for technology start-ups. We focus on global challenges in health to develop diagnostic and med tech solutions. We accelerate ideas into products by providing a legal, financial and infrastructural framework, as well as critical know-how resources for projects that can grow into start-ups. We organically develop the projects through all of the stages leading to registration and certification for market access. Once the systems attain marketing authorization, we seek strategic partnership with global med tech suppliers to exploit the global potential of the products.
Our organization as a whole offers a lively, stimulating environment in which we respond to the social needs and market requirements with efficient solutions – all that thanks to a team of doctors and medical personnel, project managers, engineers and academics, who cooperate in order to deliver groundbreaking medical products.
2010-
Scope Fluidics was founded in 2010 at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences with a view to developing microfluidic solutions for medicine. We work in close collaboration with academia – the clinical and industrial perspectives help us focus on solutions that can be efficiently produced and that target specific and important healthcare needs.
We combine the academic impetus to create and innovate with expert engineering and performance-driven discipline. We are highly effective and quick to create solutions and to prototype electronic, optical and mechanical devices and microfluidic systems. In our facilities, we use both precision machining and injection molding. With our know-how and a strong network of contacts, we also support smooth transition of innovative diagnostic systems into production.
We have broad experience in building portfolios of intellectual property rights, which includes drafting patent applications for inventions developed with Scope Fluidics, carrying out the proceedings before patent offices in cooperation with patent attorneys, identification of innovative solutions and assessment of their patentability through prior art and FTO searches.
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.
Scope Fluidics provides access to laboratories and workshops for developed projects as well as necessary administrative facilities and services, including financing.
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.
