About Delta Life Science
Delta Life Science is a spin-off from TNO located in the Rotterdam Science Tower. Delta has developed a label-free biosensing technology that will revolutionize life-science research. Our mission is to make multiplexed, label-free biosensing accessible to all. Because Delta’s instrument is based on novel Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), we can make this possible.
The instrument was officially launched in June this year, which means the commercial engine is accelerating and that is why we need you! We believe that the availability of our rapid, sensitive and low-cost biosensors will lead to new discoveries in life sciences, and ultimately to novel diagnostics that rely on accurate concentration measurement of a panel of biomarkers within minutes.
