About Zepto Life Technology
Zepto Life Technology is an in-vitro diagnostics company with unique, accurate and multiplex-ready “lab-on-a-chip” biotechnology. The company is developing clinical solutions with Mayo Clinic, and improving patient outcomes through superior assay performance at patients’ exact points of need (a $12B market).
Zepto’s fully-automated Immunoassay Platform can conveniently deliver “central lab-quality” performance at almost any point of care, so we are initially working to equip emergency rooms and ambulances with highly-accurate assays for highly-sensitive Troponin (hs-TnI) – thereby accelerating myocardial injury detection. Notably, Zepto’s newest assay for hs-TnI recently achieved a detection limit of 3 ng/L (ie. 3 pg/mL).
Meanwhile, Zepto’s portable Liquid Biopsy Platform can detect 1% cancer gene mutation (eg. PIK3CA, EGFR, KRAS and BRAF) with unparalleled specificity of 99.9%+ in less than 2 hours, for accelerated cancer-related monitoring. Notably, Zepto can distinguish a SNP or any mutation with a limit of detection of 15 mutant copies per ml, regardless of the amount of non-mutant DNA. This can revolutionize the $6B tissue-based biopsy market.
