World's First Eco-Friendly Test Kits

Okos Diagnostics envisions a world where human and environmental health are connected. Okos introduced and patented world’s first universal biodegradable housing for Lateral Flow Assays.

Every year, billions of single-use rapid tests are produced and thrown away immediately after use. Our biodegradable housing can be used for all Lateral Flow Assay use cases, and is easily adoptable by the IVD industry. Okos simultaneously pioneers in innovative lateral flow assay use-cases, such as avian flu.

Measie now offers the first product line of eco-friendly test kits, powered by Okos' cassettes and packaging. Let’s start a green revolution in healthcare together! Are you enthusiastic?!

About Okos

In 2020, Mexican product designer Luis Fenando Barrios pioneered a groundbreaking solution to address plastic pollution arising from antigen tests with his project, the ‘biodegradable testing kit’, showcased at Prototypes for Humanity. During that period, Sander Brus, just started his first company in the Netherlands, PrevViral. PrevViral imported and validated high volumes of antigen tests and set up test facilities in the Netherlands. The joint effort resulted in world’s first environmentally friendly test kit.

 

Sander and Luis connected and joined forces, culminating in the establishment of Okos Diagnostics B.V. in 2021. The initial prototypes and patent applications were funded through the earnings generated by PrevViral. Our exclusive partner for our production process is Shengfeng Plastics
