About Us

Technoculture Research is re-imagining how the world measures health. We build micro-scale electrochemical laboratories that place lab-grade accuracy directly in the hands of clinicians, community health workers, and even patients at home. Our platform fuses microfabricated electrodes, novel surface chemistries, and microfluidics to run protein, nucleic-acid, and metabolite assays within minutes. By replacing costly optical detection with electron sensing, we slash instrument and per-test costs by roughly an order of magnitude, making precision diagnostics truly accessible. Our mission is clear: make diagnostics abundant so that every critical health decision is guided by immediate, affordable results, wherever care happens.
