Description
Biomode is a startup venture based in Caldas das Taipas (Portugal) that aims to be a leading provider of rapid and accurate molecular diagnostic tests for identification of pathogens in the food, environment and life science industries.
Biomode’s diagnostic kits are based on the PNA-FISH (Peptide Nucleic Acid Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation) technology.
Biomode’s founders are a group of researchers from the universities of Minho and Porto (Portugal) that is one of the few worldwide research groups with the skills to design PNA-FISH probes targeting specific pathogens.
Biomode will enter the food industry diagnostics market with a kit for detecting Salmonella in food samples (Probe4Salmonella®) soon to be followed by two other kits for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes and E. coli O157:H7. On the clinical diagnostics area, Biomode has already developed a kit aimed at the rapid identification of clarithromycin resistance of H. Pylori strains (Probe4Pylori®) that is in the process of obtaining investigational device exemption from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to undergo field trials.
