ThreeFold Sensors

ThreeFold Sensors is a biotechnology company that developed a breakthrough protein detection platform based on electrochemical sensing. The company's technology utilizes a unique 'pendulum' mechanism to achieve high sensitivity and rapid results for protein biomarker analysis. This platform was designed to enable decentralized and high-throughput proteomics, complementing existing genomic workflows. In early 2023, ThreeFold Sensors was acquired by Illumina to enhance its multi-omics portfolio and accelerate the development of protein-based diagnostic tools. The integration of this technology allows for the simultaneous analysis of DNA, RNA, and proteins, providing a more holistic view of biology. The company was founded by pioneers in the field of biosensing from the University of Toronto and Northwestern University.
