Offering products for therapeutic drug and for heart health monitoring applications, GlucoSentient originally was organzied primarily around development of personal glucose meters for diabetes patients. Sincethen, the firm has expanded operation to offer test strips for detecting trace amounts of contaminates, such as bacteria, viruses, or chemical contamination in food. The Personal Glucose Meter (PGM) is a widely available world wide: a proven medical device that is used by millions of diabetics around the globe. The culmination of over three decades of engineering and development efforts to make it do one thing extraordinarily wel - measure blood glucose levels anytime, anywhere. The firm has built on tat capanility to develop a powerful technology that is transforming the PGM into a device that is capable of quantitatively and conveniently detecting other non-glucose targets. Made possible by the firm's patented technology that translates the amount of non-glucose target to glucose with the latter then measured by the PGM. Robust and widely applicable, thetechnology including heavy metal ions (environmental monitoring), small molecules (drug monitoring, drugs-of-abuse tests), protein markers (immunoassay diagnostics) and nucleic acid (molecular diagnostics) quantification.
