Company Description

Isolation and transport of RNA for medical testing, research, and drug delivery is historically very difficult.  Compared to DNA's half life of 531 years, RNA has a half life of just 28 minutes.

COVID-19 has shown that this esoteric laboratory challenge is a huge business opportunity.  Early on, we saw constant shortages of viral transport media needed to ship samples for diagnostic testing.  More recently, the RNA-based vaccines are often in the news because of the challenges associated with keeping them refrigerated.

Key Deal Facts

RNA is the future of medicine. The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are just the beginning
RNA sequencing will revolutionize diagnostic testing giving data sets 20x larger than DNA sequencing
Our transport solution is a quantum mechanical mechanism that's novel and vetted by top scientist
Manufacturing capacity for $2M a year in sales built out and ready to go
Licensing deals and larger supply agreements in discussion
Development supported with over $600k in grants from federal agencies
