Verax Biomedical, Incorporated

Verax Biomedical is a privately held, venture backed medical products company, founded in 1999. The Company’s laboratory facilities are located in Marlborough, Massachusetts, just west of Boston. Our vision is to create rapid tests that are practical to implement as close to the time of transfusion or transplantation as possible, thus enabling the detection and elimination of these contaminated materials from the inventory prior to their use. The first application of PGD technology is a test for use during Quality Control testing for the presence of bacterial contamination in human platelets. The Company’s first product is the Platelet PGD Test — a rapid test for the detection of bacterial contamination in platelets.
