CellXplore is a new, biotechnology company engaged in the development of biomarker-based in vitro diagnostic assays for cancer, initially focusing on breast cancer. Although mammography is an effective screening test for early detection, there is a need for a simple, reliable and sensitive biomarker-based in vitro assay that can be used to stage and characterize breast cancer.nThe company was formed to commercialize groundbreaking discoveries demonstrating up-regulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in cancerous breast tissue, providing the capability for the noninvasive detection of breast cancer and the ability to monitor the efficacy of chemotherapeutic interventions.nCellXplore's platform technology is not restricted to breast cancer in vitro diagnostics alone, nor is it restricted to cancer diagnostics alone. Beyond cancer, CellXplore is already investigating whether similar blood sample biomarkers can be identified for the early diagnosis of several major debilitating diseases such as muscle wasting, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and inflammatory diseases.

Inscentinel Ltd is a biotechnology company specializing in harnessing the olfactory ability of insects for trace vapor detection. The company's primary focus is the development of handheld portable detectors, through the use of live honeybees. This Inscentinel Technology offers sensitive vapour detection coupled with distinct operational advantages.

CELLective Dx is an early-stage company developing a new generation of diagnostic tools for cancer based on analysis of CTCs directly from a patient's blood. Our novel proprietary technologies combine microfluidics, flow dynamics, cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and surface chemistry to capture and analyze rare CTCs in blood more rapidly and effectively than other current technologies. CELLective Dx is developing simple, rapid, blood-based cancer tests that will provide physicians and patients with accurate and individualized clinical information on disease status, treatment selection, and treatment response that will dramatically improve the clinical management of cancer.

ARCXIS develops, produces, and distributes portable biological diagnostic tools with the ability to analyze, detect, and characterize infectious disease agents. It develops diagnostic tools for use in national defense, clinical diagnostics, as well as food and beverage applications. The company was founded in 2004 and is based in Houston, Texas.

Tyrian Diagnostics is a biotechnology company that specialises in the discovery of biomarkers of disease and in diagnostic test development. The company are building a strong intellectual property portfolio to develop a pipeline of diagnostic products and establishing commercial partnerships to maximise market share and revenue generation from these products. One key avenue for commercialisation is the application of biomarkers to the company's point of need test platform, DiagnostIQTM.
