Our Technology
WaveGuide Corporation brings precise scientific methods into the field, where conclusive decision making can be performed at the point-of-care. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an analytical method for chemical analysis previously confined to PhD-staffed laboratories. The WaveGuide Formµla™ portable NMR device costs significantly less than other NMR systems and requires only micro-liters (µL) of sample for accurate results within minutes.
The Device
The WaveGuide Formµla™ is the world’s first portable battery operated NMR device. Less than a tenth of the cost and a fraction of the size of traditional NMR systems, it goes just about anywhere without sacrificing any analytical sensitivity or specificity. All analysis are made on-board the device, but the platform also contains embedded WiFi, Cellular capability (2G to 4G) and a secure cloud-based environment for tracking outbreaks of disease, threats of counterfeit products, failure prevention testing for fleet management, and numerous other possibilities.

Applications
Broadly customizable, WaveGuide Formµla™ tests can include apps for purity, potency and authenticity. With little to no sample preparation it quickly detects many infectious diseases and other illnesses at the point of care, tests the fat content of foodstuffs, assesses milk quality, measures lubricant breakdown, wear and tear of machinery, and confirms the authenticity and identity of intellectual property.
Ease of Use
WaveGuide Formµla™ requires no special training. Simply turn on the device and after a quick internal calibration, the WaveGuide Formµla™ is ready to use within seconds. Insert your sample, press “run,” and wait just a few minutes for the results.
The Science
WaveGuide Formµla™ leverages the same technology as existing NMR machines. The WaveGuide difference is covered by its patents both granted and pending with its micro-scale and customizable apps facilitating ease of use. Never before has one little magnet carried so much power.
