NomadX

The natural selection in the evolution of diagnostics. NOMADX is pioneering new technologies for biological detection that include innovative products that will enable faster, more accurate pathogen testing in food. NOMADX cartridge-enhanced Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering platform is a patented surface coating that is applied to silicon chips using metallic nanoparticles. The technology significantly enhances the electromagnetic and chemical spectral scattering signal of molecules within a sample to create a multiplex platform. Studies have shown that the platform is as fast and simple to use as an ATP-based test, with results that can exceed the sensitivity, specificity, and speed of traditional PCR testing.
