Groundbreaking Tech to Test and Manage Cortisol

Our proprietary, patent-pending technology enables at-home cortisol testing with rapid results on your smartphone. No lab or specialized machines required

There was no such device before cortiSense - that could detect cortisol levels in saliva and display the results within a few minutes. In a home environment

The gold standard is ELISA assay and LC-MS laboratory machines—which, if you want to measure cortisol levels 4 times a day as required, becomes cumbersome.
The difficulty

Immobilization of molecules on a polymer surface.

In the first step, the project team developed parameters for the reliable and reproducible immobilisation of functional enzymes on polymer surfaces..
Then, a model enzyme was immobilised on the surface and its activity was confirmed with color detection.
The result

Functional and stable method of binding enzymes.
