ABOUT US

We are driven to find better, bolder approaches to molecular insights that will ultimately transform the way we think about diagnostics. We are APLEX Bio.

OUR MISSION

Pushing the boundaries of molecular detection technologies

Our ability to analyse biological samples and form molecular insights is dependent on the capabilities of today's analysis techniques. Improvements in molecular detection technologies will generate better knowledge about biological systems that can be used for improved therapies and diagnostics. At APLEX Bio, we develop solutions to push the boundries of sensitivity, specificity and multiplexity without compromises.
