Biota, Inc. ("Biota"), an environmental diagnostics company modernizing PFAS ("forever chemicals") testing. Conventional laboratory PFAS analysis is associated with high costs per sample with multi-week turnarounds, a bottleneck for an industry under mounting regulatory and litigation pressure. RapidTest™ is a portable field assay that screens for PFAS in under fifteen minutes. On the laboratory side, MagnaPrep™ replaces solid-phase extraction in EPA Method 1633 workflows with magnetic nanoparticles, lifting throughput from roughly 8 samples per shift to as many as 90 per hour.
