The Stevenage enterprise raised the capital from Longwall Ventures and a syndicate of backers to fund trials and product development.
"Advanced therapy manufacturing is hindered by out of date, inadequate manufacturing technologies,"
The seed round was led by Bloc Ventures with participation from UKI2S and private backers.
"We started manufacturing DielectriX antennas using state of the art laser/robotics equipment developed in-house, and we are now set to scale up rapidly through partnerships with electronics manufacturing service providers in the UK. Future manufacturing growth plans will roll out our 'factory-in-a-box' to deliver global capability required to meet the expected demands for autonomous vehicles and systems where absolute resilience and precision of location data is essential for safety."
The funding round was backed by the Midlands Engine Investment Fund and matched by the UK Future Fund.
"We are very grateful to our existing investors for their continued support and to the UK Future Fund for providing matched funding. The funds received will enable Linear Diagnostics to develop a prototype single use cartridge and reader for our duplex test for chlamydia and gonorrhoea."
