Disrupting 50-year-old medical testing technology with new digital nanosensors for COVID and many other infections
Every “new” COVID test that hits the market relies on the same longstanding chemical reactions discovered more than 50 years ago. IdentifySensors Biologics and Purdue University have developed new digital nanosensors intended to rapidly detect COVID-19 and a host of other infections as accurately as a PCR test.
This is the technological breakthrough intended to move medical testing past antiquated chemistry and into the digital era. Soon, it is intended that consumers and businesses will have an over-the-counter electronic device in their medicine cabinet.
Similar to a home pregnancy test, personal diagnostic technology is intended to accurately and rapidly detect COVID-19, COVID variants, influenza, measles, mumps, STDs and host of other infections. All current chemical-reaction tests soon are inteneded to be replaced by fast and affordable digital nanosensors that connect easily to a smartphone.
Before the pandemic, Purdue University was developing the nanosensors to detect pathogens far more effectively than current chemical tests. When COVID-19 hit, Purdue accelerated its research and focused on coronavirus testing. Today, Purdue is in discussions with the FDA for approval of a highly accurate, over-the-counter testing system.
The Check4 brand is intended to be a disruptive technology that will include multiple sub-brands for a range of infections, such as Check4-COVID, Check4-Flu and Check4-MRSA. The technology is intended to make current chemical-based tests, such as PCR and antigen tests, obsolete.
INVESTMENT OVERVIEWPurdue University and IdentifySensors Biologics have partnered to create Check4™: a highly accurate, over-the-counter platform device intended to quickly detect COVID-19 RNA and a host of other infections using all-new digital nanosensors, saliva and a smartphone to pinpoint infections that rapid chemical tests miss more than 50 percent of the time.
The reusable reader is intended to cost $130. Each COVID test cartridge is intended to cost less than $25. Both are intended to be released to the public with EAU approval very soon This patented and patent-pending technology is intended to also detect variant strains of COVID-19, influenza, HIV/AIDS, STDs, lyme disease, measles and other pathogens—offering investors extraordinary value well beyond the pandemic.
This new technology platform is intended to significantly disrupt the diagnostics industry. It is intended that consumers soon will have a testing laboratory in their home medicine cabinet, with the ability to diagnose many infections at home, without a prescription.
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGYThe Check4 platform, including Check4-COVID™ is not a PCR test, an antibody test or an antigen test. These three technologies make up nearly all current COVID diagnostics. Check4 is all-new technology based on electronic nanosensors that measure electrical currents passing through pathogens. This technology, which is in the final stages of development at Purdue University, requires no amplification, no reagents and no nasal swabs. It is intended to be an over-the-counter saliva self-test as effective as a PCR test, but without a prescription, high costs or delayed results.

FUTURE-READY TECHNOLOGYCheck4-COVID™ is intended to meet an immediate public need, but our technology has the capability to go beyond COVID-19 testing to provide rapid results among a wide range of pathogens. Our focus for the near future include:
THE GOLD STANDARD IN ACCURACYMost home tests produce a high percentage of false positives and false negatives. With the help of infectious disease specialists at Purdue University, we’ve designed Check4-COVID™ to meet the gold-standard in hospital-grade molecular testing, but taken entirely at home without a prescription and long wait times.
Why Do Current COVID Tests Give False Results?The accuracy of current tests depends on:
A good sample or nasal swab that is well preserved and transported to a lab without contamination. Current home tests rely on untrained users.
Amplification of the virus. Current chemical tests can’t detect COVID-19 without amplification. In many cases, samples have insufficient virus material, requiring the test to multiply the virus millions of times.
Preparing the sample. Once a sample safely reaches a laboratory, it is chemically treated. If the wrong reagents are used, or if they have deteriorated, this offers yet another opportunity for error.
What Makes Check4-COVID™ Different from Current Tests?Check4-COVID™ accurately detects COVID-19 through newly developed nanosensors, without the need for a lab, amplification or chemical reactions. This means:
No need to transport a clean sample to a lab and risk contamination.
No amplification of the virus is needed.
No need to prepare the sample in a lab for machine testing.
