At Probius, we imagine a world where decentralized and predictive healthcare helps people stay ahead of disease.

This requires an easily accessible, no-constraints approach to the acquisition of robust, biological data.

To that end, we have pioneered a new bioanalytical technology called QES, and coupled it with AI-powered software.

By making biochemical data easier to access and easier to use in AI workflows, we can help find detailed and predictive insights into diseases faster and thereby also accelerate drug development.

We are empowering the future of life science research. This will usher in a decentralized model for healthcare, where samples are processed closer to the patient, making insights actionable faster.
