An Enzyme-Free, Microparticle Approach to Trait Identification

---

Our Approach.

Patent pending microparticle paring technology.

1. Pre-programed particles activate in the presence of  specific genetic traits.
2. Device utilizes off the shelf components to control targeting parameters.
3. Data capture of target DNA + particles complexes is converted to quantitative result which correlates to the amount of genetic material present.

NanoBio Designs solution addresses genetic detection needs that current technologies are unable to provide to grain distributors and seed suppliers.
An enzyme-free technology allows for:

1. Reduced sample prep time
2. Crude sample tolerant
3. Low cost and complexity of material
4. Simple assay development for new trait additio
5. Fast assay times​

Together, wider adoption of decentralized onsite genetic testing enables proactive testing which allows supply chain points to meet their regulatory testing needs more efficiently.

 A Growing Market!

The GMO testing market is estimated to be valued at USD $1.58 Billion in 2017. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2017 to 2022, to reach USD $2.34 Billion by 2022.

Why is genetic detection needed for harvested grains?

Due to consumer demands: With advancements in crop genetics identification of transgenic organisms in the food supply chain is needed.
​
Increased regulation: The European Union and Non-GMO project have implemented standards that Non-GMO labeled grain must test  <1% (EU) and <5% in the US.

Where can a ExpresSeed test be done?

Anywhere by anyone! You don't need a high-tech lab or a PhD to be able to run our test. Simply extract the DNA, mix the crude extract with our pre-programmed particles and load into our catrdige.
