Objective
iMiCROQ aims to bring to the market the first integrated platform for pathogen, immumological and PCR testing specially
designed to cover the whole needs at farm level, internal control laboratories, food processors and point-of-care infectious
disease testing. Thanks to its affordability, QSEIF will allow from SMEs to large companies to improve their biosafety and
internal microbiology control to fulfil their requirements from ISO 22000, BRC or IFS certifications, while reducing the needs
in laboratory space, the investment, the test cost and man-hour involvement thanks to higher automation. Another important
breakthrough in the immunological sector is that QSEIF provides 1-2 orders of magnitude lower limit of detection, less time
and better dynamic range than current reference test ELISA. We envision three important applications of this disruptive
platform in the areas of: (1) Food Safety; (2) Vaccination Control; (3) Immunoassays for human and animal diagnosis. We
will reach end-users from all these sectors according to different commercial strategies that have been tailored to suit each
type of customer.
The main objective of this project is to increase the technical maturity of the platform and to validate its performance and
operability in operational environment with different end-users. After this 24 months project, we will lauch QSEIF to the
market with the aim of becoming an international reference in the diagnostic market. The viability of the technological,
regulatory, market and financial aspects of the QSEIF innovation project were assessed through a feasibility analysis carried
out in SME Instrument Phase I. From the analysis, we expect to install 717 devices that would perform 5.2M tests in a five
year period. By then, QSEIF platform will bring an accumulated Net Profit of 5,32M€ by 2024. It is expected that sales of
QSEIF will represent 40% of the company’s total revenue in 2021, growing to 88% by 2024.
