ElectroTag Diagnostics
TS-074316 — Pre‑Launch Start‑Up Opportunity: Seeking Business Leads
ElectroTag is a multiplex diagnostics platform that enables simultaneous measurement of multiple disease‑associated proteins from a small patient sample. The system replaces conventional color‑based labels with mass‑encoded peptide tags that are read by mass spectrometry, delivering higher analytical specificity and a clear path to expanding from small to large biomarker panels while maintaining streamlined workflows.
Technology Overview
Clinical and research laboratories are increasingly adopting multi‑marker panels to improve diagnosis, guide therapy selection, and monitor treatment response. Traditional formats such as ELISA plates and lateral flow strips rely on optical or enzymatic signals, which begin to…
