Linxens Société par Actions Simplifiée

Linxens transducer material for biosensor perform electrochemical analyses of liquids such as blood, mucus, milk and urine. Linxens’ innovations also include microfluidic layers which allow small amounts of liquid to be analysed by a series of miniaturised electrodes, this microfluidic layer is directly applied on top of the electrods and enable thinner consumable..

This enables the biosensor to gather a range of essential information on patient health which can be used to diagnose, or even anticipate, medical conditions such as kidney malfunctions, cardiac insufficiency and high cholesterol. By placing just a single drop of blood on one of these biosensors, doctors – or patients themselves - can instantly obtain vital data, such as glucose levels, coagulation rates, blood cell count and blood gas constituents. Transmittable diseases, such as COVID-19 and tuberculosis can also be detected.

Higher costs of healthcare, strains on healthcare resources, a growing preference to avoid healthcare centres in person and medical conditions which require monitoring over a period of time, are all contributing to the burgeoning investments in smart monitoring solutions.

Linxens have developed technologies that enable healthcare professionals to monitor their patients’ physicochemical signals remotely. Incorporated into wearable patches and devices, these solutions help to provide continual care, but at lower cost. Doctors and nurses can treat more patients and the need for hospital presence is reduced. Patients gain greater autonomy and risks of infection are lowered.

Linxens’ radio-frequency identification (RFID) solutions are micro-systems which combine a transponder, receiver and transmitter to track objects, store information and transmit data. Hospitals are an ideal application for RFID technologies, due to their complex and constantly changing environments. Linxens has developed RFID systems specifically for hospitals, to help staff quickly locate patients and equipment.

RFID tags on equipment can store data on servicing and maintenance requirements or ensure that medical instruments have been sterilised. RFID tags can also be used to check the authenticity and expiration date of medicines and other consumables.
