Small Business, Grand Challenge: Elvesys Designs the World’s Fastest Pathogen Detection Platform
The Challenge:
Public health crises are, unfortunately, no longer just plot points of apocalyptic novels or Hollywood thrillers. Diseases like Ebola and influenza, and pathogenic threats such as anthrax, are very real consequences of a growing and mobile world population. Establishing detection methods that can quickly and reliably diagnose these threats has true lifesaving potential.
The Solution:
Elvesys, a small French startup on the forefront of pathogen detection, used NI data acquisition hardware and LabVIEW software to create the world’s fastest pathogen detection platform to inexpensively diagnose patients.
