iMOST: Instant Mobile Phone Health Testing At Your Finger Tips, Replacing Inconvenient and Expensive Lab-Test

iMOST (Instant Mobile Self-Test) being developed by Essenlix is a game-changing instant mobile health self-test platform, iMOST, for allowing, in addition to professional use, a layperson to accurately perform a diagnostic/health test her/himself, anywhere (at home, point-of-care, clinics, hospitals, etc.), anytime, using a single drop of body fluid and a hand-held portable device (some are smartphone based), within minutes, at a low cost, with the results sent immediately to professionals.

iMOST is designed to be intelligently fault tolerant, delivering clinical lab-quality test results using a simple device, even when a sample, device, process, and operation are imperfect. iMOST™ is also to be versatile, using one unique sample holder platform and one instrument to test different sample types (blood, saliva, urine, swab, sputum, breath, mucus, tissue, etc.), different assays (immunoassay, colorimetric assay, cytology and pathology, nucleic acid assay, etc.) and different biomarkers (cells, proteins, nucleic acids, and small molecules).

With extensive research and development, including thousands of lab tests and extensive clinical tests, Essenlix’s iMOST platform is launching its first product "iMOST-CBC" for complete blood count (CBC) testing for research and, pending FDA approval, diagnostics (iMOST X-1 blood count is CE Mark cleared). In parallel, Essenlix has several other assays in its product pipeline.

How iMOST Works:

• The iMOST reader utilizes a proprietary, user-friendly app to analyze the samples, display test results, and transmit data to a patient's healthcare provider.
• A tiny drop (microliter) sample of blood (finger-prick), saliva (cheek swab), or urine is deposited on a proprietary test card, the size of a stamp, which is inserted into the reader.
• The user launches the app, and activates the reader with clicks.
• Results are displayed on the reader screen within minutes.

iMOST has a number of advantages over traditional diagnostic technologies:

• Mobile, personal use anywhere, anytime, no need for professionals
• Fast (many tests within minute), accurate, and easy-to-use
• Small, lightweight with portable reader
• Powered by the battery — no external power source required
• No liquid reagents required (dry reagents all contained on test card)
• No daily control and calibration required
• Low cost
