Rapisense is a solution driven innovation and is Revolutionising real-time detection of small molecules in complex samples across multiple industries.
Rapisense’s innovative rapid detection technology enhances efficiency, sustainability, and consumer trust across food industries such as dairy and aquaculture by delivering accurate, point-of-need results that integrate seamlessly
into existing workflows to detect contaminants in real time and automatically.
Our device can be in-line or portable to deliver easy-to-use test kit that streamlines diagnostics, enabling faster and more informed decision-making, whether in processing environments, veterinary clinics, or the field. In animal
health, the technology supports improved treatment decisions and better livestock management by monitoring key biomarkers related to metabolic health, nutrient deficiencies, and disease prevention. Additionally, Rapisense can be
applied to environmental water testing, offering rapid, on-site detection of small molecule contaminants such as pesticides, pathogens, heavy metals, and chemical residues, ensuring timely water quality monitoring without reliance
on centralised laboratories.
About us
We are Rapisense, a research team at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland, that is actively working on the development of automated, digital technology to screen complex matrices for small molecule contaminants, in-line and in real time at point of need. By partnering with UK dairy industry stakeholders, we are developing solutions to deliver a system that directly addresses dairy industry needs.
The University of Strathclyde has established over 60 spin-out companies and allocated £7.5 million for investments between 2020 and 2024. A joined mission is to deliver world-leading education, research, and innovation that benefits society, transforms lives, and drives sustainable economic growth.
