"Fluid-Screen, Inc. (FSI) is a Yale-spin off and an award-winning early-stage company based in Boston, MA. FSI has developed a microchip to replace the Petri dish to bring microbiology testing into the 21st century: drastically reducing testing times from days to minutes. The company specializes in applying cutting edge microelectronic technology to develop rapid microbiology testing solutions for a range of industries including water testing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and medical diagnostics. We are developing our first product, a bacterial detection chip, for use in sterile manufacturing processes and microbiome drug development. Our mission and a long-term goal is to enable safer living for millions of people worldwide. We need you to help us make it happen. The next generation Fluid-Screen technology will enable a handheld device that will automatically test for bacteria and viruses in liquid samples anywhere in the world. Fluid Screen’s lab-on-a-chip system detects bacteria in water, blood, or urine with a sensitivity of a single bacterium in just 30 minutes, compared to a day or more for alternative technologies. The patented technology and the team have been recognized with the Grand Prize in the Create the Future NASA Design contest (#1 out of 900 entrants worldwide), a Gold Prize in the Mass Challenge (top 1% of contenders), and ten other awards."
