ABOUT US

DNAPhone is an innovative Italian company with a clear vision: to revolutionise the world of rapid analysis and diagnostic tests.

The company was founded in 2014 by the intuition of three University researchers: Alessandro Candiani, Alessandro Tonelli and Michele Sozzi who, after years of academic research, started an entrepreneurial project with the aim of creating innovative optical devices for portable diagnostics. After the awards obtained and the competitions won, the company raised the attention of private professional investors that had promoted two successive capital increases. After the development and validation of the technological platform, together with early market feedback, DNAPhone establishes partnerships with important industrial and strategic partners.

Following the development and validation of the technological platforms, together with the first market feedback, DNAPhone enters into collaborations with important industrial and strategic partners.

Today DNAPhone offers innovative solutions for the world of Food & Beverage, in particular the company develops and markets analysis tools for the quality control of wine and beer.
