Business Summary
Biocircuits Corporation was founded to develop new immunodiagnostic testing systems. Immunodiagnostic tests, or assays, are performed on samples of bodily fluids to diagnose a variety of infectious diseases and other conditions, such as endocrine dysfunctions, and to conduct therapeutic drug monitoring. Immunodiagnostic tests utilize biological reagents, such as antibodies, and an instrument to detect the presence of a substance of interest, or analyte, such as a virus or hormone. The Company's IOS point-of-care immunodiagnostic testing system consists of a compact instrument and disposable test cartridges that can be operated by a user with no special skills or training. The system enables users to perform tests at many locations, including physicians' offices, ambulatory clinics and small clinical laboratories.
