Delivering enhanced diagnostic solutions through novel technology

The company’s board and management team comprises experienced medical diagnostics professionals and healthcare investors. Linear Diagnostics was formed in 2011 to exploit a novel platform technology that can be used in a wide range of diagnostic applications.

The company utilises linear dichroism which enables the rapid detection of multiple targets using a disposable cartridge run on a small low-cost instrument. Linear Diagnostics is headquartered in the BioHub Innovation Centre at the University of Birmingham.
