Colorific’s innovative nanoswitch technology combines lab-grade accuracy with the speed and convenience of on-site testing. This project focuses on developing a rapid test for mycotoxins and other contaminants in food and feed, providing a quick and accurate testing solution for the food safety industry.

Colorific captures analytes directly from samples, producing observable color changes without pre-processing of the sample. The technology is easily programmable to different molecular targets, allowing for its future expansion into various industries, including environmental, and healthcare testing.
