SphingoTec develops and markets innovative IVD solutions for novel and proprietary blood-based protein biomarkers. Our aspiration is to effectively translate scientific advancements into routine clinical practice.
Our innovative biomarkers address diagnostically underserved acute and critical care conditions such as acute kidney injury, sepsis, and acute heart failure. The solutions we have created combine scientific discoveries with medical research and robust technologies to support clinicians in improving patient care. We work with internationally leading academic and non-academic medical centers as well as global IVD and pharma companies to bring these innovations closer to the patients.
Innovative diagnostic solutions for unmet medical needs
Wide adoption
Commercial opportunities
We collaborate with a wide range of industry partners to convey the value of our biomarker innovations in clinical diagnostics and drug development.
Product portfolio
Biomarker-based diagnostics
We make our proprietary biomarkers available as CE IVD microtiter plate assays, a well-established technique suited for laboratories.
From bench to bedside
Biomarker innovations
The main mortality drivers in intensive care units are diagnostic blind spots. We pave the way for early intervention and personalized medicine in acute and critical care with innovative biomarkers.
Proenkephalin A 119–159 (penKid) has been successfully integrated into daily practice in intensive care unit (ICU), demonstrating its effectiveness in assessing kidney function and predicting acute kidney injury (AKI) in over 4,000 patients.
Results from the first prospective study, conducted at the Medical University of Vienna, demonstrating penKid as a discriminatory biomarker for successful liberation from CRRT in cardiac surgery patients with acute kidney injury.
Through this collaboration, the companies will bring an assay for SphingoTec’s innovative kidney function biomarker, Proenkephalin 119-159 (penKid), to Beckman Coulter’s extensive test menu for use on the Access Family of Immunoassay Analyzers.
