ABOUT US

Levi Diagnostics, Inc. is a research and development startup, was incorporated at the end of 2019 with a mission of delivering revolutionary nanosensor technologies to bio-medical diagnostics field. 

We focus our efforts on three major areas:

  • rapid viral diagnostics,

  • narcotics detection,

  • diagnostics of women's diseases.

AT the LAb

Co-founders of Levi Diagnostics, Inc. are also co-founders of Emitech, Inc. (emitechinc.com), and are able to leverage a combined 20 years of experience in the field of nanotechnologies for various sensing applications.  Emitech has been successful in working with both government grants and private sector investors.

We have multiple U.S. patents for the design and implementation of high-sensitive detection technologies.

NEWS

  • November 2019:  Levi Diagnostics, Inc. was incorporated.
     

  • September 2020: We recievd an SBIR grant from NIDA, National Institute of Drug Abuse (one of the Natioanal Institutes of Health, NIH ), for the development of wearable nanosensors for rapid opioids detection.
     

  • October 2020: Levi Diagnostics' technology for drug detection received an excellent evaluation from an international marketing company dealing with the transition of innovative technologies to the global market. The average score of 1.53 based on 15 parameters was issued on the scale from

       1 (excellent) to 9 (poor).
