About Kapplex

About company

Kapplex is a Toronto-based startup developing sensitive, high-performance and multiplexed point-of-care diagnostic platforms suitable for use in doctor’s offices, urgent care, and emergency rooms to enable clinicians to rapidly and accurately diagnose a disease at a patient’s first visit and significantly improve the course of treatment while reducing healthcare costs. The Kapplex instruments and consumables are driven by a proprietary Digital Microfluidic (DMF) platform developed in Dr. Aaron Wheeler’s lab at the University of Toronto. DMF dramatically simplifies and automates traditional sample preparations and analyses on a single, low-cost chip driven by a low-cost instrument.
