Pioneer in rapid detection solutions for water and food safety and venture leaders USA and China, rqmicro, gains new long-term investor to accelerate market expansion and grow product pipeline.
rqmicro, founded 2013 as a spin-off of the ETH Zurich, secured significant funding from a family investment office based in Switzerland. The TOP 100 Swiss Startup and venture leaders USA and China from 2015 develops and markets rapid microbial detection solutions for applications in water and food. The financing round will enable rqmicro to accelerate the market roll-out of its first instrument series, further grow the product pipeline and expand the team and operations. The private investor is fully aligned with rqmicro’s vision to improve microbiological water and food safety worldwide with a newly developed rapid test technology. The funding round comes in the midst of the market launch of rqmicro’s CellStream instrument. Laboratories benefit from the revolutionary yet easy-to-use instrument and test kits to quantify specific bacteria using their existing flow cytometry hardware."The venture leaders program helped us gain recognition and initiate potential partnerships in the two largest economies - USA and China. The inspiration I gained during these programs translated into an actionable expansion plan for our startup. These outcomes supported rqmicro during discussions with investors for our Series A round," said Hans-Anton Keserue, CEO of rqmicro.
