Beacon Biotechnology is moving ever closer to realizing this dream through its BrightSPOT™ detection platform and luciferase based diagnostic tests.  By combining cutting-edge hardware and novel biology, Beacon’s BrightSPOT System is the right technology at the right time. Without using super-cooled cameras, lasers or optics, Beacon harnesses the molecules that illuminate the deep ocean to develop extraordinarily sensitive diagnostics capable of performing over a hundred tests on a single drop of blood.  The BrightSPOT Reader, developed for Beacon Biotechnology by one of the world’s most renowned satellite imaging engineers, is state-of-the-art, but inexpensive enough to throw away.  Now, instead of sending a patient’s sample off to a lab and waiting days for results, the BrightSPOT System can give the doctor answers in minutes right in the office, allowing for an immediate discussion with the patient and more importantly, immediate care.  Not only will the BrightSPOT System dramatically impact existing billion-dollar markets by speeding up diagnosis and treatment and thereby reducing healthcare costs, it will also address new markets in home diagnostics, point-of-care diagnostics, pharmaceutical research, public health, environmental testing and bioterrorism detection that are currently limited due to the shortcomings of existing technologies.

Imagine how Beacon’s BrightSPOT can quickly and cost-effectively:

+ Diagnose severe infectious diseases like SARS, Meningitis or Hepatitis
+ Perform subspecies identification like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or Influenza A (H5N1) aka “Bird Flu”
+ Uncover bioterrorism agents like Anthrax and Tularemia
