Agave BioSystems

Agave BioSystems was a biotechnology company specializing in the development of microfluidic systems and biosensors for point-of-care diagnostics and biodefense applications. The company focused on integrating micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) with biological components to create highly sensitive detection platforms for pathogens and chemical agents. Their core technology involved automated microfluidic circuits capable of performing complex sample preparation and analysis in a portable format. Much of their research and development was supported by Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants from agencies such as the DoD, NIH, and NASA. The company aimed to miniaturize laboratory processes for environmental monitoring and clinical use but is no longer active.
