Tata Institute for Genetics and Society, India’s Post

Exciting News! We are thrilled to announce that IOTA DIAGNOSTIC has partnered with the Tata Institute for Genetics and Society, India (TIGS) to expand the applications of our innovative BioSampling Technologies—BioSampler and M-Strip—in the field of diagnostics. Key Highlights of Our Collaboration: 1.     Newborn Screening: Our BioSampler, utilizing dried matrix technology and micro-sampling, is designed for the efficient collection, preservation, and transportation of bio-fluid samples at room temperature for lab analysis. This collaboration aims to develop newborn screening tests using the BioSampler device. 2.     STI Diagnostics: Our M-Strip—an indigenous, cutting-edge menstrual blood collection device—will be adapted for STI diagnosis, making testing more accessible and affordable for women across India, particularly in resource-limited settings. This device has been validated for HPV detection and empowers women to ensure their safety through self-sampling in the comfort and privacy of their homes for cervical cancer and STI screening test. Together, we are committed to pioneering advancements in diagnostic technology and improving health outcomes for communities. We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our previous partners and collaborators: Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC)-DBT, SRISTI Innovations, EDII Ahmedabad, i-Hub Gujarat, Sterling Accuris Diagnostics, STBI DST_GoG-Vadodara, and IIMA Ventures. Your ongoing support has been instrumental in our journey Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this transformative journey!
