Why work at this company:

Our planned self-test Family Health Toolkit will offer low cost, early detection & monitoring, with smartphone diagnosis and medications.

Hiring Company Description

Coupled with vaccines for Covid-19, the world needs low-cost Saturation Level Testing that can be performed by anyone, anywhere, at any time.  Instant testing is the key element to end this pandemic, and quickly assess and control the spread of many infectious diseases around the world.

Through licensing and collaboration with several Universities, Blink Science, Inc. is developing an electrochemical method for use with a hand-held device to instantly read a variety of customized disposable strips to detect extremely low concentrations of molecules (viruses, proteins, etc.) in saliva, blood, urine, and other fluids.

This new testing technology will be ultra-low-cost with comparable results to PCR tests overcoming lab-based limitations with portability for global use.  We plan to ramp manufacturing rapidly for high-volume device manufacturing and produce more than 10 million strips per day using existing glucose strip manufacturing lines to support a broad set of diagnostics for global distribution.

Blink Science is expanding its core technology through patent coverage and developing a comprehensive digital health platform that includes mobile apps for results verification, personal digital health passport, data transfer with real-time cloud aggregation, third party interoperability, and next-generation IP of using MEMS “Smart chip in testing strips” for multi-functional testing.  The company has several notable Fortune 500 collaborations at the present time and growing.

Blink Science is seeking experienced leadership to move this device through an FDA EUA, 510K, and into the global market with consideration for an IPO in the near future. This technology and platform has potential not only for COVID-19 but well into the future for a broad range of 50+ other health and environmental testing applications and available for third-party licensing.
