Phytoxigene develops molecular qPCR assays that detect and quantify toxin-producing cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates in freshwater and marine environments. Its CyanoDTec and DinoDTec tests grew from more than two decades of cyanobacterial biotechnology research by parent company Diagnostic Technology, including long-running collaborations with Australian and international university scientists. CyanoDTec is published as Standard Method 10120 for quantitative PCR analysis of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxin-producing genes.

Soliense IncSoliense Inc. develops fluorescence-based instruments and methods for studying photosynthesis in terrestrial plants and marine or freshwater organisms. Its distinctive LIFT technology measures photosynthetic activity remotely and non-invasively—in some configurations from several meters away—while its marine FRR systems support sensitive, spectrally resolved measurements of phytoplankton. The company also provides research collaboration, technical expertise, and training for laboratory and field applications.SHOREHAM, NY
Biomeme, IncSince 2012, Biomeme has built its identity around decentralizing molecular diagnostics, developing field-ready testing for people who need biological answers outside a central laboratory. The Philadelphia company works with military and first-responder organizations as well as healthcare and research users, and makes its systems on site in a 40,000-square-foot vertically integrated facility.541714PHILADELPHIA, PA
Kalix TechnologiesKalix Technologies develops portable molecular diagnostic systems that let farmers and veterinarians test animal, food, water, and agricultural samples on-site in about an hour. Based in Centerville, Ohio, the company combines PCR testing with automated analysis and cloud-based data tools, including a compact unit that can process up to 16 samples at once. Kalix was selected for the AgLaunch365 accelerator and received support through Ohio’s Third Frontier Technology Validation and Startup Fund.DAYTON, OH
