Our diamond-based quantum sensing technology assesses the magnetic properties of ferritin. We’re developing this technology to establish an accurate and affordable test for iron status.

One of the key breakthroughs in physics over the past decade has been the exploitation of quantum effects for enhanced sensing applications. Quantum sensors provide enhanced measurement sensitivity when compared to existing diagnostic measures.

Our technology is, in a sense, a quantum counterpart of an MRI. In traditional MRI scanners the iron load can be determined by monitoring magnetic changes in the presence of ferritin. The FeBI quantum sensing technology functions via a similar operating principle, however our novel sensing technology is nine orders of magnitude more sensitive than traditional MRI and represents a transformative shift in direct iron detection technology.
