About the Team: 

Path Finders is a consortium of experts and start ups with experiences that include sensors, instrumentation, biochemistry, biology and medical diagnostics. Our track records range from conception of novel ideas through design and development of prototype devices to their commercialization.

Our test captures volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by bacteria and our instrument then analyses the captured samples and interprets the results. Typically 5 minutes is sufficient time for sample capture and the analysis itself takes a further 5 minutes.
