Oxford HighQ develops fluid-based chemical and nanoparticle sensors, designed to detect and identify chemicals in small quantities.
Oxford HighQ will develop and market sensors and analytics instruments for chemicals and nanoparticles in fluids, using a novel optical microresonator technology that provides high sensitivity detection capabilities requiring only minute (sub-nanolitre) fluid quantities. These devices will fulfil unmet needs in a range of markets including materials R&D, biomedical sciences, environmental monitoring, security and healthcare. The company will also bring to market precision micro-optical components such as micromirrors to support photonics R&D and the emerging quantum technologies sector. The company incorporated as a spin-out from the University of Oxford in October 2017. At the time of writing (March 2018) it is negotiating seed funding.
