ABOUT US
UGenDx
UGenDx is developing URODYNE™, an automated point-of-detection platform designed to enrich and preserve urinary cells for downstream cytology and molecular analysis.
Better
samples.
Better possibilities.
THE SAMPLE CHALLENGE
Every reliable result begins with a high-quality sample.
Urine is a variable, non-invasive source of cells and molecular biomarkers. Yet the sample begins changing immediately after collection.

INTRODUCING URODYNE™
From raw urine to a laboratory-ready cellular sample.
An automated benchtop processing unit, single-use filter cassette and dedicated preservation solution.
A SIMPLIFIED WORKFLOW
Load. Enrich. Preserve.
01
-
Load
Introduce the specimen into the disposable single-use cassette.
02
-
Enrich
Concentrate relevant urinary cells while excluding interfering material.
03
-
Preserve
Transfer enriched cells to the preservative solution.
FUTURE
Molecular testing
Upper urinary tract
Renal and transplant research
INITIAL FOCUS
Urine cytology
Bladder-cancer investigation
Bladder-cancer surveillance
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
One platform.
Multiple possibilities.
Initial focus on urine cytology and bladder-cancer pathways, with longer-term potential across urine-based applications.
TECHNOLOGY & IP
Built on a protected foundation.
Foundational urine-filtration technology originating from an EU Horizon 2020-supported programme, now being advanced into a new automated medical-device platform.
