Executive Brief
Innodetection Limited is a biotechnology firm specializing in molecular diagnostics via a proprietary DNA-based Biosensor System (DBS). Their core focus is developing portable, high-sensitivity point-of-care (POC) devices for the rapid detection of infectious viruses (e.g., African Swine Fever) without requiring laboratory infrastructure. Their technology sits at the intersection of microfluidics and electrochemical signal transduction.
Strategic Fit & Lead Score
Lead Score: 82/100 (Adjacent Tech / Strong Potential)
Why this Score? Innodetection's "DNA-based Biosensor System" likely relies on electrochemical or field-effect detection to achieve "molecular level" sensitivity in a finger-sized device. Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) is the world’s most advanced electrode material for such applications due to its wide electrochemical potential window and low background noise (high signal-to-noise ratio). 6C's ability to provide BDD coatings or SCD substrates could be the key to moving their sensitivity from "competitive" to "revolutionary."
6C Solutions Proposal
| Application Area | 6C Solution | Technical Value Prop |
|---|---|---|
| Electrochemical Sensing | BDD Electrodes | BDD offers a massive potential window and the lowest capacitive background current of any material, allowing for the detection of ultra-low concentrations of DNA/RNA. |
| Surface Functionalization | SCD / PCD Substrates | Diamond surfaces can be terminated with Hydrogen or Oxygen to provide extremely stable covalent bonding sites for DNA probes, preventing sensor "drift" or degradation. |
| Miniaturization | Custom Coating (Direct) | 6C can deposit thin-film BDD directly onto silicon or ceramic micro-arrays, enabling "finger-sized" devices to maintain lab-grade sensitivity. |
| Device Longevity | Bio-inert Protective Layers | Diamond's inherent resistance to bio-fouling ensures the sensor remains accurate even when exposed to complex biological samples (blood, saliva, or farm runoff). |
| Manufacturing Scale | Custom MPCVD Systems | As Innodetection scales for global livestock monitoring, 6C can provide in-house reactor builds to allow them to coat their own sensor chips at volume. |
Engagement Hooks
- Technical Question: "Does your current DBS electrode material face limitations regarding signal-to-noise ratios or potential window restrictions when detecting low-copy-number viral DNA in unpurified samples?"
- Value Statement: "6C's Boron-Doped Diamond technology can expand your biosensor's electrochemical detection limits by orders of magnitude, ensuring your POC device achieves PCR-level sensitivity in a portable, diamond-robust format."
