The problem

Recurrence is detectable long before it is detected.

Biology problem

Late detection by existing imaging techniques.

ctDNA can be detected 9–12 months earlier and creates a window for therapeutic intervention.

Accessibility problem

ctDNA detection requires ultradeep and broad sequencing.

Not accessible to all labs across different health systems.

Our solution

Enrich the signal first, so depth stops being the price of sensitivity.

Enrich mutant signals

2Strands enriches ctDNA signals before sequencing, enabling ultrasensitive detection of cancer recurrence (MRD) at significantly lower sequencing depth.

Expand access and scalability

By reducing reliance on ultra-deep sequencing, our technology makes post-treatment recurrence detection and serial monitoring more accessible and scalable.

The technology

2Strands allele enrichment platform

Our platform selectively enriches target mutations while depleting non-target alleles.

This reduces sequencing requirements, enables detection of multiple low-frequency mutations, and helps lower cost while delivering best-in-class sensitivity and specificity to make MRD accessible and scalable.

Value proposition

Accessible and scalable ultrasensitive MRD technology

Access

  • Expand access

    Bring ultrasensitive MRD detection beyond a limited number of elite health systems.

  • Enable serial monitoring

    Make repeated testing after curative treatment more economically viable.

Operational efficiency

  • Protect margins
