Our mission
At Checktor Biosciences, we aim to facilitate targeted treatment of infections with rapid point-of-care tests. Our first focus is on the urgent need for better gonorrhea diagnostics.
Problem
The lack of rapid tests contributes to antibiotic misuse, as they are often prescribed only on the basis of symptoms, which can be confounding. Moreover, the lack of tests capable of determining the antibiotic susceptibility of an infection is promoting the overuse of the last-line antibiotic for gonorrhea.
Solution
We are developing a point-of-care test that enables doctors to prescribe optimal antibiotic treatments in just 10 minutes during a single visit.
Our approach
At the core of our test is our patented molecular assay, an overachiever of speed, precision and convenience. With a reusable reader and single-use cartridges, Checktor Biosciences offers a unique sample-in answer-out test with the characteristics below.
