The Catalan startup Moirai Biodesign has created a prototype of a diagnostic kit, based on its biosensor technology, that will allow to detect sepsis quickly only with a blood sample from the patient, without the need to carry out a previous blood culture. With this kit, the pathogens that cause sepsis (a potentially fatal inflammatory process that can appear in the event of an infection), as well as their resistance to antibiotics, can be detected in a few hours and obtain results much faster than with blood culture analysis , which requires several days to complete a diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Moirai Biodesign has received Startup Capital direct grant from ACCI\u00d3, the agency for company competitiveness of the Department of Business and Knowledge of the Generalitat. The startup has received 75,000 euros that it can allocate to finance the activities derived from the execution of the initial business plan, such as covering personnel expenses, contracting services to third parties, investing in material and equipment, renting spaces or developing marketing strategies and communication.<\/p>\n

Moirai Biodesign is a pioneering RNA design company\u00a0developing a revolutionary diagnostics technology based on\u00a0programmable RNA biosensors\u00a0capable of detecting, with high specificity, low amounts of any target RNA associated to a wide range of pathologies.\u00a0Its initial investigation and development aims to diagnose the cause of sepsis in the fastest, most reliable and affordable way.<\/p>\n
