Cantimer is a privately–held, development–stage company commercializing a patented, proprietary, sensor technology platform based on a unique convergence of micro–electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology and advanced polymer science.

Cantimer’s technology enables the development of breakthrough detection, measurement and monitoring devices that meet market-driven needs for sensitivity, speed, ease-of-use, convenience and cost-effectiveness. The Company has already demonstrated “proof of principle” in the quantitative detection of a broad range of targets, including viruses, proteins, electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, analytes such as glucose, ethanol and urea, volatile organic compounds, chlorinated hydrocarbons, hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen fluoride. Potential fields of application for Cantimer’s technology, include life science research, biodefense, environmental testing and point-of-care diagnostics.

The Company’s first commercial product will be an innovative, hand–held device for non-invasive, measurement and monitoring of human hydration status from saliva.
