Viacord is a Cambridge, MA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
MBio Diagnostics is now LightDeck Diagnostics! LightDeck Diagnostics believes in a new approach to healthcare, where fast, accurate, simple, low-cost diagnostic tests will be run wherever and whenever they are needed, without compromise. The company`s proprietary LightDeck® platform combines an advanced laser waveguide with novel materials and patented manufacturing techniques to deliver lab-quality results anywhere, in minutes. LightDeck is introducing a portfolio of in vitro diagnostic panels, the first is an on-the-spot test for COVID-19. The LightDeck platform is currently commercialized in veterinary diagnostics and for environmental testing. Learn more at www.LightDeckDx.com Platform Technology The LightDeck platform consists of a robust, portable fluorescence analyzer and disposable, multiplex test cartridges. The LightDeck® platform was designed to meet customer requirements: • Quality: Highly sensitive tests that deliver lab-quality results • Quick: Actionable data in as little as 5 minutes with a simple procedure • Quantitative: More data to inform treatment decisions • Multiplex: Multiple related tests for better precision plus internal quality control to maximize safety The test procedure is simple enough that an untrained user can perform testing almost anywhere. Panels can be configured to run multiple related tests simultaneously to help diagnosis or rule-out a specific condition. Internal quality control runs with every test to ensure quality and not report questionable results.
Joule has pioneered a CO2-to-fuel production platform, effectively reversing combustion through the use of solar energy. Free of feedstock constraints and complex processing, this platform can achieve unrivaled scalability, volumes and costs without the use of any agricultural land, fresh water or crops. Unlike products derived with complexity from petroleum or biomass, Joule Sunflow® products are produced in a direct, continuous process from abundant resources. The novel CO2-to-liquids conversion requires only sunlight, non-potable water and engineered bacteria that function as living catalysts to produce specific products, including ethanol and hydrocarbon fuels that are inherently compatible with existing infrastructure. Joule’s highly efficient process and production system are well suited for deployment around the world, unhindered by land or resource constraints. This uniquely modular system can achieve replicable productivity, whether installed across 100 or 1,000 acres, mitigating scale-up risks and ensuring stability of supply. At full-scale commercialization in ideal locations, the company ultimately targets 25,000 US gallons of Joule Sunflow®-E (solar ethanol) or 15,000 US gallons of Joule Sunflow®-D (solar diesel) per acre annually, for approximately $1.20/US gallon ($50/barrel). Joule has successfully pilot-tested its platform for over two years, initiated demonstration-scale operations, and assembled a specialized team to lay the groundwork for commercial deployment. The company is moving rapidly to commercialize Joule Sunflow-E, with Joule Sunflow-D and additional hydrocarbon fuels to follow. Joule is privately held and has raised approximately $200 million in funding to date. The company was founded within Flagship VentureLabs™, and operates out of Bedford, Massachusetts and The Hague, The Netherlands, with production operations in Hobbs, New Mexico.

SeLux Diagnostics is developing a Next Generation Phenotyping (NGP) platform that promises to transform infectious disease patient treatment by dramatically increasing the speed and accuracy with which targeted, personalized antibiotic therapies can be prescribed. Earlier, better-informed treatment decisions will save lives, improve patient outcomes, decrease hospital lengths of stay and hospital acquired infections, and help combat the global antibiotic resistance epidemic.
