Truvian Sciences

San Diego, CA

Truvian disrupts the blood-testing industry by developing an automated, benchtop diagnostic system to provide lab-accurate results. The blood-testing system combines chemistry, immunoassays, and hematology assays in one device. With its 20-minute, single-run wellness panel that requires only several drops of blood, the company aims to cover about 40 commonly ordered diagnostic tests, including a lipid panel, metabolic panel, and complete blood cell count. Its dry reagent and optical sensing technologies, which require no refrigeration, can perform a complete blood count, basic metabolic and lipid panel, hemoglobin and glucose tests, thyroid screenings, and liver and kidney function exams. The company also offers Easy Check, a blood-based serologic test Truvian claims can detect the presence of the antibodies effective against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Dena Marrinucci, Kim Kamdar, Mark Bowles, and Pieter van Rooyen established the San Diego, California-based company in 2015.
