Phase I SBIR Award by NIH, March 29, 2013

Intrinsic LifeSciences has received a Phase I SBIR (R43) Award by NIH/NIDDK/NHLBI:  “Hepcidin Lateral Flow Device for Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury”

We are developing a portable lateral flow device that can determine urine and plasma hepcidin concentration rapidly and quantitatively for post-cardiopulmonary bypass patients potentially afflicted with acute kidney injury.


Intrinsic LifeSciences will be at the ASN Kidney Week 2012 Meeting in San Diego

Anyone interested in scheduling a meeting with us to discuss present or future hepcidin analysis needs during the conference can contact us at [email protected], or by calling our corporate number: 1-877-457-5888.

We look forward to seeing you in San Diego!
