Ananda Devices Canada

Ananda Devices is a biotech company specialized in in vitro assay developments. Leveraging our proprietary nano-organization technology, we have developed physiologically relevant in vitro models that generate predicative responses early on in the compound development processes, thereby accelerating compound discovery and de-risking key developmental investments.
Our nervous on-a-chip technology enables clients to perform drug screening, toxicity and efficacy testing up to 50x faster and 90% more cost-effective. We have 20+ years of experience in neuroscience and tissue engineering, and we have been a developer of unique devices to grow brain, spinal cord and innervated skin models for clients in 12 countries.

Our product:
NeuroHTSTM is a first-in-class high throughput screening (HTS) platform to rapidly cultivate over 3,000 CNS or PNS neurons/plate into physiologically relevant networks.
Its easy-to-use technology requires no additional equipment such as shakers and tubing.
It is compatible with most automation solutions, suitable for both and human/animal models

Our customized services:
Our core technology enables 4 types of innovative assay developments:
-Organization of cell and tissue types for reproducible and physiologically relevant in vitro testing
-Innervation of different tissues
-Miniaturization of existing models to increase throughput and sensitivity
-Development of complex co-culture models to mimic disease on-a-chip

GATTACO Inc. United States

GattaCo develops products that enable fast accurate evidence-based decision making to improve healthcare outcomes. We do this by solving the fundamental problems in sample purification, the most challenging component of the diagnostic testing workflow.

 Our new Plasm™ Module is a revolutionary, patented, automatic plasma separation and metering module or insert used to provide high-purity, metered plasma to a rapid diagnostic testing platform, such as lateral flow, biosensor, or other Point of Care (POC) device, from finger-stick capillary blood. The initial version of the Plasm Module is optimized for antibody testing and will revolutionize POC diagnostics by improving: 

  • Sensitivity: Increased number of antibodies compared to the same volume of whole blood.
  • Specificity Accuracy: High quality/purity sample with reduced background.
  • Repeatability: Plasma is metered to +/- 5%.
  • Quantitation: Precisely metered output, independent of hematocrit.
