Thyrolytics
Thyrolytics AB develops a first-of-its-kind diagnostic device for measuring thyroid hormone levels in the blood using nanotechnology and protein engineering. In contrast to the convectional diagnostic methods for thyroid disorders, Thyrolytics’ patent pending platform directly measures the thyroid hormone levels, resulting in a highly robust, reliable and costeffective point-of-care diagnostic method.
