Orbis Diagnostics

Orbis Diagnostics believes everyone should be empowered to understand their true health status, irrespective of who they are and where they live. High quality, accessible diagnostics enable individuals within society to make life-changing decisions with confidence. Established in 2016, Orbis brings together a proven team of world-leading researchers, backed by New Zealand’s largest early stage deep-tech investor, Pacific Channel. Orbis has developed a ‘lab on a disk’ testing platform that uses its microfluidic platform technology to miniaturise and automate accurate lab testing for use at points of need. Originally designed for the cowshed, the first product to run on this platform was able to accurately quantify progesterone in milk for heat detection, to inform the timing of artificial insemination.
