ArrowDx

High-sensitivity water diagnostics

Water testing for healthier communities

ArrowDx is developing a water diagnostics platform that combines proprietary Raman-enhanced nanochips with machine learning algorithms to amplify and identify trace molecular signatures in water.

Rapid detection of infectious disease markers in wastewater and public waterways can help health teams spot emerging trends sooner and guide their response.

01 / Technology

Reading the signals
in water.

ArrowDx’s Raman-based platform pairs target-specific capture chemistry with signal-enhancing nanochips to improve sensitivity, then uses machine learning to identify molecular signatures from compounds present at very low concentrations in water.

  1. 01

    Capture

    Prepared nanochips use chemistry selected for the target.

  2. 02

    Enhance

    Nanostructured nanochips strengthen the Raman signal.

  3. 03

    Measure

    A Raman spectrometer records the sample’s spectrum.

  4. 04

    Interpret

    AI/ML models look for faint molecular fingerprints and compare them with reference data.

Where we are today. Platform validated on heavy metals and organic compounds. Pilot studies will evaluate performance for selected infectious diseases in wastewater.

02 / Pilot partnerships

Daily monitoring.
A defined pilot.

Could rapid, high-sensitivity wastewater monitoring give your team an earlier signal to investigate?

Sample collection

Local staff collect and label samples. ArrowDx provides containers and pays for agreed shipping to its San Diego laboratory.

Reporting

ArrowDx targets secure report release within 24 hours after the lab accepts a sample. The pilot will measure performance against this target.

Evaluation

Compare results with an agreed reference method, track sample completeness and valid-result rates, and review findings with your public health team.

*Aggregate wastewater findings complement community health information. The community health team interprets results and decides on follow-up.
