Avails Medical, Inc. is a medical equipment manufacturer focused on rapid, automated solutions for antibiotic susceptibility testing. It was founded by Stanford postdoctoral researchers and is based in Menlo Park, California. The company’s electronic biosensor platform is designed to quantify pathogens and assess susceptibility directly from human specimens, aiming to shorten lab workflows by removing manual culturing steps. Its eQUANT system automates the generation of a 0.5 McFarland equivalent directly from positive blood cultures, reducing the standard workflow by more than 18 hours while fitting into existing laboratory operations; the system has FDA 510(k) clearance. Avails is also developing a rapid phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility testing platform, eAST, intended for use directly from positive blood cultures as well as cultured isolates; recent updates indicate ongoing development of this next-generation solution.
