ATC Diagnostics

ATC Diagnostics, originally founded as Advanced Technology Center, was a medical technology company that pioneered the development of rapid molecular diagnostic systems. The company's core innovation was the Laboratory-in-a-tube (Liat) technology, a platform designed to automate and integrate all the steps of nucleic acid testing—including sample preparation, amplification, and detection—into a single, closed system. This technology enabled high-performance molecular testing to be performed in point-of-care settings with minimal user intervention. The company eventually rebranded as IQuum before its acquisition by a major global healthcare leader, significantly impacting the field of decentralized molecular diagnostics.
