About Us
Iris Diagnostics is a leader in automated urinalysis technology with its workstations installed in major medical institutions throughout the world. Iris Diagnostics manufactures the only clinical analyzers which use real-time video flow imaging, displaying microscopic images on a video screen. The systems are operated by touch screen interfaces pioneered by the Company for use in urinalysis and microscopic analysis of body fluids. The Company’s imaging systems use patented and proprietary Automated Intelligent Microscopy (AIM) technology for automating microscopic procedures, enabling clinical laboratory technologists to rapidly and efficiently analyze and process specimens automatically, significantly reducing the costly and time-consuming manual steps required for microscopic analysis.
Advanced Digital Imaging Research (ADIR) is a research and development organization specializing in digital imaging software and algorithm development. Located in the Houston, Texas area, ADIR conducts R&D projects sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, NASA, and corporate clients. ADIR has a number of ongoing NIH-sponsored research projects being conducted in collaboration with top-flight medical researchers around the USA. New technology developed under these projects will be made available to the Company and other client companies for commercialization. ADIR is expanding the scope of its research activities beyond cytogenetics, to include projects of interest to the Company and other corporate clients. ADIR also plans to commercialize non-company related technology by means of patents and licensing agreements.
