La solución más ecológica para ensayos de flujo lateral
Okos Diagnostics se fundó para hacer crecer el mercado de pruebas caseras, brindando a todos acceso a una gama cada vez mayor de pruebas caseras, sin aumentar los problemas de desechos del mundo. Nuestros casetes son la única carcasa universal protegida por patente del mundo para pruebas de flujo lateral.
Durante la pandemia de COVID, se desecharon 100 mil millones de pruebas de plástico inmediatamente después de su uso. Las carcasas de base biológica de Okos se pueden utilizar para todos los casos de uso de flujo lateral, incluidos embarazos, infecciones sexuales y marcadores tumorales, y la industria de diagnóstico in vitro las puede adoptar fácilmente.
En 2050, el peso del plástico en los océanos será mayor que el peso de los peces. El bienestar de los seres humanos no debe lograrse a costa del daño al medio ambiente. ¡Conectemos la salud humana y la salud ambiental, ahora!

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. Currently, Okos offers two different bio-based prototypes: Gelassette and a plant-based alternative.
