Anteo Diagnostics Limited (ASX: ADO) is a global medical technology company, developing and commercialising products for sale into the life sciences, in-vitro diagnostics, point of care, medical devices and bioseparations markets.

The Anteo group owns a patented nanoglue technology, which is used by healthcare customers for incorporation into their existing tests and tests under development, to consistently enable laboratory test results that can either be delivered faster, cheaper, or with greater specificity or sensitivity than incumbent tests.

This nanoglue technology, called Mix&Go for healthcare markets, is starting to gain traction with the Company’s target markets, due to its ability to revolutionise the way scientists work.

While Anteo is largely focused on the healthcare markets, the nanoglue technology also has potential for use in other areas, such as batteries. Early stage research is being conducted into the viability of this battery product.
