About Us

CEXAL LTD is a Scottish-based biotech company revolutionizing microbial testing through the use of novel class of DNA biosensors.

Since 2021, we have invested in the development of rapid, easy-to-use, point-of-need diagnostics (30 minutes or less) that significantly surpass current gold-standard methods for microbial detection.

This technology has demonstrated validated performance for bacterial detection across complex sample matrices, including environmental waters (DEFRA, UK), urine (NHS, UK), and, more recently, rocket fuel (UK Space Agency).

Compared to other rapid assays, our proprietary patent-pending technology:

  • is built using only two—just two—functional DNA probes
  • Can be used directly on clinical or environmental samples
  • Is compatible with standard readers and workflows
  • Can be delivered as a lateral flow cartridge (LFA) for rapid deployment
  • Provides definitive results comparable to laboratory methods
