Sepsis kills 11 million people yearly, with each hour of delayed treatment raising mortality risk by nearly 8%. Yet today’s gold standard diagnostic—blood culture—can take up to 48 hours, while sepsis can cause death in just 12. Inadequate antibiotics can reduce survival 5-fold, and misuse fuels Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), projected to kill 10 million annually by 2050.
Zyn-Sepsis is a rapid, all-in-one in vitro diagnostic test for detecting and identifying bacterial pathogens in blood. It senses bacteria-specific gas biomarkers (VOCs) during their growth phase and applies machine learning to recognize unique VOC “fingerprints.” The result: fast, accurate identification in about 4 hours—with high sensitivity and specificity.
