Private Company

Total funding raised: $1.7M

Overview

Attomarker is a private, commercial-stage diagnostics company founded in 2016 as a spin-out from the University of Exeter. It has developed a proprietary multiplex diagnostic platform that uses gold nanoparticle nanotechnology and microfluidics to provide quantitative, multi-biomarker results in approximately seven minutes. The company is currently generating early revenue from its first authorized test for Long COVID immune profiling and is actively fundraising to scale its platform and expand its test pipeline into areas like Lyme disease, fertility, and liver health.

Opportunities

The growing demand for personalized medicine and decentralized, rapid diagnostics creates a large market for Attomarker's multiplex platform.
Its first-mover advantage in quantitative Long COVID immune profiling addresses a significant unmet need and provides a clinical validation beachhead for expansion into other complex chronic and infectious diseases like Lyme and liver conditions.

Risk Factors

Key risks include commercialization challenges in penetrating healthcare systems, the cost and uncertainty of securing regulatory approvals for new tests, and competition from larger diagnostic firms.
The company's reliance on a successful crowdfunding round and subsequent capital raises for growth also presents a financial execution risk.

Competitive Landscape

Attomarker competes in the multiplex and point-of-care diagnostics space against large established players (e.g., Roche, Abbott, Siemens) and other innovative startups. Its differentiation lies in the combination of rapid results (7 minutes), true quantitative multiplexing, and a focus on complex immune profiling, a niche less served by traditional lateral flow or single-analyte tests.
