Rarity Bioscience commercializes superRCA, an ultrasensitive multiplex assay for detecting rare nucleic acid sequences in biological samples such as liquid biopsies. The superRCA technology, published in Nature Communications, demonstrates superior sensitivity that enables earlier detection of cancer relapse. Its assays can be analyzed using existing lab instruments, which lowers costs and adoption barriers for clinical labs. The company plans to expand operations and continue product development within precision diagnostics and liquid biopsy to democratize mutation detection. After a successful first year establishing the company, Rarity has set up operations for product development and research service testing. The recent seed funding will support expansion of the offering and continued development of liquid biopsy solutions.
