About us
Surfix Diagnostics is a startup company that focuses on developing and marketing liquid biopsy-based diagnostic tests like the early detection and monitoring of cancer. Our photonic diagnostics platform combines six state-of-the-art technologies. To make it even more exciting: the platform is so versatile that it can be used for immunoassays AND for molecular diagnostics. Any protein or nucleic acid-based biomarker in a liquid biopsy can be detected, provided a suitable bioreceptor to capture this biomarker is available. The core of Surfix’s photonic diagnostics platform is a photonic biosensor consisting of a photonic biochip and a microfluidic cartridge both optimized with Surfix's proprietary nanocoatings. The biosensor is used in combination with a dedicated desktop reader. On our website () you can read more.
Surfix is located in Wageningen on the Agro Business Park.
