GeneCapture, Inc. has developed an innovative technology known as The CAPTURE Platform™, which enables rapid pathogen identification and phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing at the point-of-care. This portable solution provides actionable results within a short timeframe, reporting pathogen identification in just one hour and antibiotic susceptibility in an additional hour. The platform is designed to handle multiple pathogens and can process various sample types, including blood, urine, swabs, and saliva, without the need for laboratory equipment or refrigeration. The technology utilizes a unique integrated disposable cartridge that prepares raw samples on-board, employing Direct RNA Hybridization (DRH) for identification and advanced algorithms for result reporting.

The CAPTURE Platform™ addresses critical healthcare challenges, particularly in the context of rising antimicrobial resistance and the urgency of timely infection treatment. By incorporating lyophilized antibiotics that remain stable at room temperature, the system allows for high-speed measurements of bacterial growth to determine susceptibility. This capability is essential in diverse settings, from clinics and communities to farms and battlefield environments, where rapid answers are crucial for effective patient care. GeneCapture aims to transform healthcare by facilitating quick decision-making and ensuring that antimicrobial drugs are used appropriately, ultimately improving patient outcomes and addressing global health concerns.

Detecting Pathogens Takes Too Long
Our patented CAPTURE (Confirm Active Pathogens Through Unamplified RNA Expression) technology solves this problem, and we are now developing a portable instrument to screen for hundreds of pathogens within an hour for less than $20.
GeneCapture's unique approach to disease diagnostics uses rapid RNA-based technology to bring infection detection to the Point of Care; whether that's a hospital bed, an airport, a cruise ship, or a battlefield.
