InnovaPrep

InnovaPrep is a biotechnology company that develops and manufactures advanced preanalytical solutions designed for the rapid collection, concentration, and preparation of biological particles. Its core innovation, the Wet Foam Elution process, is protected by over 60 patents and allows users to transform large, dilute, or complex samples from air, liquid, or surface matrices into concentrated, assay-ready preparations. By significantly reducing sample preparation time from hours or days to minutes, these technologies enhance downstream analytical sensitivity and speed for molecular and particulate targets. The company operates from its headquarters in Drexel, Missouri, with an additional satellite lab at the KU Innovation Park in Lawrence, Kansas.

These tools are essential for customers and partners working in sectors such as environmental monitoring, disease detection, bio-surveillance, and life sciences research. By simplifying workflows and overcoming the challenge of dilute sample analysis, InnovaPrep enables more robust testing for applications ranging from wastewater analysis for COVID-19 to the isolation of exosomes for clinical and diagnostic research. As an approved defense contractor with extensive experience in government-funded programs, the company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and maintains a strong commitment to quality and innovation in public health and commercial diagnostic development.
