Our Mission

Our mission is to revolutionize point-of-care diagnostics with our unique
technology, making accurate and rapid testing accessible to all.  
Increasing access will ensure a safer workplace for employees & employers, 
as well as advance our healthcare industry.

We are the creator of the XALIVA® rapid diagnostics
platform that provides high-quality, cost-effective, 
and rapid results for employers using only a small amount 
of saliva. The testing platform leverages the first truly portable
nanoparticle detection technology, allowing for fast, 
non-invasive point-of-care diagnostics. 



With the collaboration of industry experts, the company’s
platform is versatile and expanding into new point-of-care diagnostics beyond drug testing, such as infectious disease, maternal health, and cancer detection applications.
