Corporate Overview |
 |
Founded in 1998 in the Boston metropolitan area, IQuum is an early stage company dedicated to further developing our unique platform that will improve the extraction of information from biological samples. The platform will deliver the recent achievements in genomics and biotechnology to healthcare and daily life. IQuum's Vision: To enable the non-specialized personnel to conduct more sophisticated biological sample testing in any setting with greater speed. IQuum's Mission: To be the leader in lab-in-a-tube processing for clinical diagnostics, bio-defense, industrial testing, and the life sciences, promising improvement in healthcare on a global basis. IQuum has developed the novel lab-in-a-tube platform. The platform incorporates a closed sample tube, modular sample processor architecture and the latest biotechnology to provide a uniform system for cellular, protein, and nucleic acid tests. Our system enables rapid and ease-to-use biological sample testing, and performs multiple biological assays in an "insert-and-test" format, integrating all stages of sample processing -- from sample collection to result interpretation. The Company believes that this platform will meet the market needs for extracting comprehensive information from biological samples, and is developing the next generation of biological sample testing systems based on this platform. With the recent rapid advance in genomics comes the expectation of improved medicines, foods and healthcare. All of these developments rely on biological sample testing to obtain relevant and reliable information. To meet these needs, current biological sample testing should first be advanced.
IQuum is tackling this challenge in both healthcare and life science research. We are examining all key stages of this process, from sample collection through sample preparation and testing and finally to data analysis and interpretation. For each of these stages, IQuum has identified opportunities and innovations that will result in greater process efficiency and better quality of information. IQuum's technology platform is the catalyst that enables these improvements. We believe that the most important ingredient for success is people. IQuum has assembled a team of talented, dedicated, and enthusiastic professionals who are working together to build IQuum's future. We have created an exciting and stimulating environment that has attracted experts from multiple fields including science, engineering and business development.
