Founded in 2007 and based in San Jose, CA, Alverix builds upon a 30-year legacy of expertise in optical sensors, image processing, software, and signal enhancement algorithms. The company’s product focus is producing low cost, handheld reader devices with the accuracy and precision of laboratory instrumentation. Alverix partners with diagnostic companies seeking to increase current test accuracy, improve the portability of existing tests, or develop new assays for use in physician offices, laboratory outreach locations, retail clinics and homes. With strength in product design, product development, and high throughput manufacturing, Alverix is leading the transition of diagnostic testing from the laboratory to on site locations where immediate results are critical to patient care.
Alverix is a spin out from Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications. The Company is leveraging a 30-year legacy of expertise in optical sensors, image processing, software and signal enhancement algorithms, and owns proprietary technology for low-cost, portable assay detection devices for medical diagnostics and other applications. When combined with existing diagnostics tests, or with assays currently being developed, Alverix’s devices enable central laboratory quality results to be done in any location where test information is critical to patient care. Until now, this level of performance required expensive, bench-top instrumentation. In contrast, Alverix’s detection devices provide immediate, accurate results at POC – in doctors’ offices, clinics, retail environments or workplace settings – for a fraction of the cost and turn around time of traditional methods. Current applications include testing for drugs of abuse (DOA), cardiac, cancer, infectious disease and drug efficacy.
