About us
anvajo enables access to laboratory diagnostics – for everyone, everywhere and anytime. We are a German MedTech company that develops point-of-care devices for the fast, reliable and cost-effective analysis of liquids, the so-called fluidlabs. Digital holographic microscopy and a compact spectrometer are key enabler of our fluidlabs. Our vision: a world with better healthcare, in which diseases in humans and animals can be recognized more quickly, therapies can be developed more efficiently, and their progression can be tracked more precisely.
anvajo. Lab diagnostics for everyone, everywhere.
anvajo is a Dresden-based MedTech innovator and spin-off of the Technical University of Dresden, founded with a clear ambition: to translate scientific excellence into real-world diagnostic solutions. We develop platform technologies that fundamentally rethink how diagnostics is delivered, making it more accessible, faster and independent of centralized laboratory infrastructure.
By combining advanced optics, digital holography, microfluidics, spectroscopy and AI-driven data analytics, we create compact systems capable of performing complex liquid analyses with laboratory-grade precision. Our technology enables reliable, real-time results directly at the point of care, whether in clinics, physician offices, laboratories, veterinary settings or in the field.
At the core of our approach is a scalable platform concept. Rather than building isolated devices, we provide technology building blocks that allow our partners to develop their own diagnostic solutions. As an innovation partner, we work with leading companies worldwide across human health, veterinary medicine and life sciences, supporting them in bringing next-generation diagnostic applications to market.
Our solutions help reduce turnaround times, streamline workflows and close gaps in access to diagnostics, particularly in environments where traditional lab infrastructure is limited or unavailable. In doing so, we contribute to more efficient healthcare systems and more informed decision-making.
We believe that high-quality diagnostics should not be a privilege. Our vision is clear: lab diagnostics for everyone, everywhere.
