Founded by life science and diagnostic industry veterans, Gate Scientific is structured around development of products to enable quality research and improve healthcare decisions. Addressing the need for more accurate and tighter control in the lab, the firm has developed a wireless thermal feedback system. Gate Scientific Precision Hotplate/Stirrer line with smartSENSE magnetic stir bars - patent pending - allows for unfettered thermal management. With wireless temperature sensing, the smartSENSE Stirbars remove the need for traditional wired thermal probes and all of the associated issues. Organized around simplifying the diagnostic workflow for clinical laboratories and developing technologies to bring lab-quality diagnostics as close to the patient as possible, principals are currently developing a molecular diagnostic platform designed to improve performance of nucleic acid testing to applications not previously possible.
