Biochip – the problem & addressable market

Archer is developing a biochip that uses the highly sensitive, high speed, low power sensors to detect ions that could be integrated into a lab-on-a-chip device for advanced medical diagnostics.

==> picture [412 x 267] intentionally omitted <==

Chronic kidney disease affects more than 850 million people (>10% of the population).[1]

Abnormal potassium levels can be lethal → kidney disease patients are at high risk as the kidneys control electrolytes like potassium.

Testing can only be done in a clinical setting with analysis done via a lab. Current testing is performed monthly, which is too slow and not done frequently enough.

US$3B total addressable of the >US$80B renal disease market.[2]

Extendable to heart disease and treatment.

Extendable to other ion sensing applications in medicine and agriculture.

Recently bolstered manufacturability and scalability with a new carbon film.

Probing microscale volumes of carbon material using pESR chip.

Working with external collaborators to make progress on three fronts:

  • Improving materials properties and scaling to wafer-scale synthesis and processing;

  • Developing microwave resonant circuits to both probe and later control electron spin; and

  • Begun work on electrically detected spin resonance for readout.

Archer set to tap into high growth TMR sensor market

==> picture [50 x 349] intentionally omitted <==

Overseas foundry to develop a tunnel magnetoresistance (“TMR”) sensor for Archer for commercial use in industrial applications.

TMR sensors are ideal for many applications, including artificial intelligence, data centres, automotive, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

TMR leverages quantum phenomena to provide a performance edge over classical incumbents.

Part of Archer’s[12] CQ project, and leveraging its expertise in quantum mechanics to design advanced TMR sensors. Archer will finalise its TMR sensor design in the coming weeks, with the first prototypes to be delivered before the end of the year.

Early next calendar year, Archer will commence work to optimise the TMR sensor design and engage with potential customers, potentially bringing forward revenue opportunities while it continues[12] CQ quantum development.
