GeneCapture

GeneCapture is a private U.S. diagnostics company developing a portable, point-of-care platform for rapid pathogen identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Its CAPTURE Platform is designed to move from patient sample to actionable treatment guidance in roughly 1-2 hours without central-lab infrastructure, refrigeration, or highly trained technical staff. The company uses direct RNA hybridization, optical sensing, disposable cartridges, and onboard sample preparation to detect bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. GeneCapture markets the technology for healthcare, military, rural, agricultural, and other austere-use settings where fast infectious disease decision-making is critical. The company is based at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology campus in Huntsville, Alabama and appears to be advancing toward commercialization rather than running a traditional therapeutic drug pipeline.
