About Zynnon
Zynnon (www.zynnon.com) is a startup transforming infectious pathogen diagnostics, minimizing operations within the laboratory and speeding up the transmission of vital pathogen information to the treating physician in order to optimize treatments and improve patient outcomes. This gaseous biomarker-based solution for the detection of Volatile Organic Compounds (“VOCs”) is used to rapidly and precisely identify bacterial and fungal pathogens to the genus and species level. The VOC-detection and differentiation technology serves as a rapid and efficient alternative or add-on to traditional pathogen identification laboratory methods, substantially shortening the timeline from sample collection to actionable lab results. By streamlining complex procedures into a simple, small, compact, and easy-to-operate sensor-based VOC detector, along with a validated VOC database, the need for specialized laboratory skills for pathogen detection and classification (such as PCR and/or immunoassay-based techniques) is eliminated.
