Soliense 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.
PhlotonicsPhlotonics develops light-powered biosensors that measure biological activity for advanced biomanufacturing and drug discovery. Founded around a core technology co-developed by its three PhD co-founders, the Rochester company applies photonics to real-time bioprocess monitoring, with peer-reviewed studies supporting its approach.ROCHESTER, NY
PhytoxigenePhytoxigene 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.AKRON, OH
