CYTOCHIP

Our story begins with a research project that enabled a portable device for testing blood cells of astronauts on space missions. Now as we apply our technology to needs on earth, we are positioned to transform in-vitro diagnostics, from hospitals to clinics, pharmacies and patient homes. Followed by a decade of research and development, CytoChip’s first test solution, the CitoCBC^® system, is ready to launch. With a drop of blood, the CitoCBC^® system provides a CBC with lab-grade accuracy at the point of care within minutes.
