Figura Analytics

Figura Analytics, a spin-out from Loughborough University, is revolutionizing liquid analysis with its patented nanopore technology. This innovative technology allows users to quickly and accurately measure the size, shape, and concentration of particles in a liquid sample without complicated preparation. The process is efficient, taking less than an hour to identify and quantify potential contaminants using targeted assay kits.

Figura serves clients in multiple sectors, with initial focus on the drinks industry and healthcare market. In the drinks industry, the technology helps leading brands validate and improve their processes. In healthcare, it offers precise and rapid analysis, which is crucial for various applications.

The company operates in the analytical instrumentation market, providing cutting-edge solutions for liquid analysis. Its business model revolves around selling its proprietary devices and assay kits to businesses that require fast and accurate liquid analysis. Revenue is generated through the sale of these devices and consumables, as well as potential service contracts for maintenance and support.

Supported by Loughborough University, The Manufacturing Technology Centre, and Innovate UK, Figura has successfully transitioned from research to commercial readiness. The company was formed in January 2021 and is gearing up for a commercial launch in 2022.
