Novx Systems

Novx Systems was a medical technology company that specialized in the development of point-of-care diagnostic platforms. The company's flagship technology was a proprietary system designed to provide rapid, laboratory-quality results for immunoassays and clinical chemistry in decentralized settings. Its primary applications included drugs-of-abuse testing and infectious disease screening for clinics and physician offices. In 2007, Novx Systems was acquired by Alere (formerly Inverness Medical Innovations) to strengthen its professional diagnostics and toxicology portfolio. The acquisition allowed for the integration of Novx's automated testing capabilities into Alere's global distribution network.
