Ontera

A grounded company with ambitious dreams of improving the Earth by revolutionizing diagnostics

[Ontera @OnteraInc]

Just how does our one-pore technology work? Nanopore sensors exploit small, brief changes in electronic current as molecules move through the pore, one by one. Watch it in action in this video.

What if we could not only read your genome, but directly interrogate your epigenome - using both to assess health? @OnteraInc is using precision diagnostics at the molecular level to accelerate research and innovation. Hear from @williambdunbar1 below.

#1: In this difficult environment, it is amazing how many companies (26 + more everyday) in our portfolio are responding with deep technical solutions to COVID related critical problems by pivoting from their own business plans to repurpose tech https://t.co/QALnUeU0uv

What are the 3 biggest barriers to #agtech adoption?

How will #COVID19 impact agriculture?

w/ experience in anthropology, atmospheric chem, ag & more it's no wonder @Feeding9Billion is an expert on food system innovation!

.@OnteraInc has now posted videos explaining how to use the #nanocounter device to count and determine the size of single molecules (DNA/RNA/proteins/polymers) https://t.co/5FsCYvWySW https://t.co/f92Xi8cHUG #nanopore

[Ontera @OnteraInc]

Our own version of the #unboxing video... check out just how easy it is to use the #nanocounter to count & size all types of single molecules, from DNA and RNA to proteins and polymers. https://t.co/fSiwQ2T0G7 More info here: https://t.co/XmggV6mxMp

Thank you to these amazing #innovators for sharing their approaches and disrupting technologies in new diagnostics!! Was fun to facilitate the conversation with the very interactive #TEDMED2020 audience!! @OnteraInc @Path_AI @BiotiaNYC

[TEDMED @TEDMED]

.@OnteraInc is democratizing precision diagnostics to create a more sustainable planet. #TEDMED

[Ontera @OnteraInc]

High temperatures, dust, rough roads, no refrigeration -field conditions in rural regions can be tough! Our instruments are tougher. Find out what makes our portable diagnostic platform field deployable & what this might mean for farmers & clinics. #agtech https://t.co/uFLe765Tuz

[Ontera @OnteraInc]

Small farms dominate Chinese ag & many are experimenting w/ precision tech. #Drones now help to work 4% of China’s farmland - that's ~4.5 million hectares, or an area slightly larger than Denmark! Learn more in this interesting @technodechina article. https://t.co/pgfXVz6r8x

[Ontera @OnteraInc]

An exciting #agtech competition is just around the corner: the Manure Innovation Challenge. The March 16 @TheYieldLab_I event will see 8 startups compete on innovations in manure management that enhance ag #sustainability—and the bottom line. Good luck! https://t.co/89fNUjl18Z

What's the world's biggest infectious killer? Malaria? HIV? AIDS? Nope! #Tuberculosis. Learn all about the basic biology behind #TB infections and the challenges we face in attacking it in this excellent @TED_ED animation. https://t.co/9UDD073Bfk

[Ontera @OnteraInc]

Is it possible to do rapid trait analysis of #transgenic seeds w/o the need for purified DNA samples, fluorescent probes or expensive optical devices? @williambdunbar1 & co describe a method using a novel PCR assay & solid-state #nanopore sensors https://t.co/fHX3gplO8w

[Ontera @OnteraInc]

Parsing out specific genes & traits (many of them patented) in #transgenic crops is becoming increasingly important, yet it's scientifically challenging. How about coupling a PCR assay w/ a solid-state #nanopore sensor to test seeds in <5 minutes?

This is pretty neat. Novel way to detect #citrusgreening - #dogs!
