Seraph Biosciences, Inc. is a biomedical device company headquartered in Detroit, Michigan. The company was founded in 2014 with the primary purpose of commercializing its groundbreaking, diagnostic technology known as Seraspec®. Seraphs team consists of seasoned academic physicians, biomedical engineers, artificial intelligence experts, and device commercialization professionals tasked with combatting the major public health crises of our time. By leveraging the principles of Raman Spectroscopy, Seraspec® represents a paradigm shift away from current methods for screening and identification of dangerous bacterial, viral and fungal pathogens. Seraspecs® patented technology and method of detection effectively eliminates the need for time-consuming and costly laboratory-based methods of specimen collection, processing and pathogen identification. Safety, efficiency, accuracy and profitability are simultaneously enhanced through a portable, point-of-need technology for real-time pathogen detection and identification. A higher power just got involved in the fight against infection.
