VCU-born startup Evizia lands $2.2M NIH grant for commercialization of advanced DNA sequencing microscope
As DNA research enters a critical stage in next-generation sequencing, better methods are needed to
Resolving Genomic Complexity
We design genomic tools with wide-scale application and adoption in mind.
Better Research with Better Tools
A fast and compact desktop next generation instrument for biomolecule imaging and analysis with single molecule resolution.
PRECYSE performs direct physical imaging of biomolecules such as DNA via HSAFM (High Speed Atomic Force Microscopy), enabling scientific researchers for the first time to rapidly visualize and analyze samples down to individual molecular structure.
NGS Quality Control (QC)
Currently, labs utilize electrophoresis for QC, and old indirect method for sample characterization with many deficiencies. Now, PRECYSE allows direct sample molecular imaging and analysis in a streamlined and cost-effective workflow
Our approach utilizes less sample while improving accuracy and speed of analysis, helping labs save time and money.
