NanoBio Designs, Inc

NanoBio Designs, Inc. is an agbioscience startup that develops portable, enzyme-free genetic detection platforms for the agricultural industry. Founded in 2017, the company utilizes patent-pending microparticle pairing technology to identify specific genetic markers in crude DNA samples. By leveraging DNA-coated nanoparticles, their platform offers a simplified, ultra-fast alternative to complex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing. The system is designed to provide quantitative results by converting the capture of target DNA and particle complexes into measurable data, allowing for decentralized, onsite testing without the need for high-tech laboratory environments or specialized expertise.

The company's primary solution, known as ExpresSeed, addresses critical needs for grain distributors, seed producers, and testing labs facing increasing regulatory oversight regarding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the food supply chain. By enabling proactive, real-time verification of genetic composition, the technology helps supply chain stakeholders meet standards such as Non-GMO labeling requirements more efficiently. NanoBio Designs currently conducts industry pilots to validate its detection platforms and is actively seeking partnerships with early-adopting customers, distributors, and joint ventures to expand its capabilities across various agricultural and biotechnology markets.
