Cambridge Medical Innovations

Cambridge Medical Innovations (CMI) is dedicated to developing a series of diagnostic devices that will help in the diagnosis of diseases and enable more efficient monitoring of human health. Our mission is to develop the diagnostic devices to be sold worldwide. The company is located in Cambridge, UK.

Technology

Our technology is based on robust label-free sensing exploiting high frequency acoustics to specifically diagnose disease. The systems can directly detect a range of molecules, bacteria and viruses in both crude samples and complex matrices with minimal need for sample processing or purification.

This is achieved by attaching a specific target receptor to the surface of an acoustic resonator, using one of a variety of coupling chemistries, followed by delivery of a sample via a microfluidic flow-based system. The resonant acoustic signal indicates not only the presence of target molecules but also their concentration in the sample.
