Note from the Daily Dealflow team: We previously featured Aperiomics on November 6, 2018. They were the Startup of the Year 2018 Grand Prize winner for their breakthrough work with extensive infectious disease screening. We are revisiting Aperiomics because they recently released a COVID-19 test kit that clinicians can order. The clinician order form is here.
We wish you all the best during these difficult times. Stay healthy!

Aperiomics
Helping chronically sick patients finally get answers, Aperiomics is the first company able to identify EVERY known bacterium, virus, parasite and fungus! Now including COVID-19.
|
|
Aperiomics is the only company of its kind and scope in the world. They are revolutionizing the way that medical professionals around the world identify infections. Supported by the National Science Foundation, Aperiomics identifies every known bacteria, virus, fungus, and parasite through Deep Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing, using our world renown database containing nearly 40,000 microbes.
They help doctors and their patients identify the causes of infections that other tests cannot identify, thus streamlining the path to a positive clinical outcome. Many patients that they have helped were sick for years with no understanding of why. Aperiomics was named Life Science Innovator of the Year in 2016 and International Start Up of the Year in 2018.
Update April 6, 2020
Aperiomics, a biotechnology company deploying technologies to identify the root causes of infectious disease, has added Xplore-COVID-19 (Coronavirus-SARS-CoV-2) to its menu of testing. The FDA has announced that “at home” self-screening for COVID-19 will not be allowed. The test must be administered by a clinician. Therefore, only clinicians may order the Xplore-COVID-19 tests. Clinicians can place an order by emailing orders@aperiomics.com or call 703-229-0406 or by completing this form.
