DnaNudge is a British company specializing in DNA testing. In late 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it introduced COVID Nudge, a rapid RT-PCR test for COVID-19.[1] The device uses a disposable sample capsule that is placed into a sample processor box, and gives results in 90 minutes.[2] As of August 2020, the British government had ordered 5000 of the sample processor boxes.[3]

Sir Richard Sykes joined its board in 2021.[4]

Origins

The company was co-founded by Chris Toumazou.[4]
