About Biopix-T

BIOPIX-T is a certified designer and manufacturer of molecular diagnostic devices for the point of care. The company targets two healthcare-diagnostics related markets through the production of instruments and standardized assays for detection and monitoring of Infectious Diseases and Companion Diagnostics.

Pebble device

Its first product to be released, the “Pebble”, is a compact device for performing real-time colorimetric LAMP (qcLAMP) – based on a patent pending methodology. Pebble was created using three-dimensional (3D) additive manufacturing technology and operates via an Android application. The device can be used to extract rapidly quantitative information at a wide dynamic range of RNA or DNA template. Detection can occur from purified nucleic acids or directly from crude samples (swabs, saliva and biopsy tissue).

The company was founded in December 2019 by a team which originated from the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology at the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (IMBB-FORTH).
In August 2020, BIOPIX-T received funding from a covid response call from the European program H2020 (IRIS-COV), within a consortium of 8 partners, in order to productize, certify and release into the market its portable molecular diagnostic device for the point of care, based on a prototype named IRIS. The resulting product was Pebble.

In September 2020, BIOPIX-T also secured its seed funding round with lead investor the Greek venture capital Metavallon and three angel investors from the Greek healthcare market. Later-on that year it concluded the round with the addition of the venture capital Eleven from Bulgaria.
The current product range of BIOPIX-T consists of the Pebble for diagnostic use at the point of care and its associated test kits for the detection of Sars-CoV2 and Flu A (soon), as well as a research use version of the Pebble, which is addressed to the academic and research community.

BIOPIX-T continuously invests in R&D with additional products planed for the next few years, including further compatible kits for the Pebble, as well as other instruments for the point of care and home use.
