Company Description: 

InstantLabs is a molecular diagnostic device company and the developer of portable, quantitative, real-time PCR (qPCR) systems. The company is focused on medical diagnostic and food safety applications for its proprietary technologies. InstantLabs currently markets its Hunter Accelerated-PCR® platform with disposable Multiple Assay Cartridges (MACs), bringing simplicity and power to complex diagnostic testing without dependency on central laboratories or acute-care facilities for sample analysis. The compact, affordable and fully-integrated Hunter system is especially suited for use at points-of-care and points-of-need to detect and analyze a wide variety of common and problematic pathogens. InstantLabs is positioned to broaden the addressable market for RT-PCR in areas where gold-standard accuracy, combined with ease-of-use and rapid time to results, can make a consequential improvement in operational efficiency, as well as health outcomes.
