Zeteo Tech, Inc.

Zeteo Tech is a venture-backed company that develops technologies to defend against biological weapons and to support the warfighter. Our core technology is a biological mass spectrometer, digitalMALDI™, that identifies microbes with high speed, sensitivity and specificity. The company's innovative and patent-pending time-of-flight mass spec technology dramatically lowers instrument cost and size relative to the MALDI instruments used globally in the clinical diagnostics market today. The company's founders and key personnel are leading technologists with deep expertise in bioaerosol collection, concentration, and analysis by optical methods and mass spectrometry. Our team is led by experienced scientists who have served as program managers at DARPA and the Department of Homeland Security. The core technology team has decades of experience with advanced mass spectrometer development and technology commercialization. The team also develops innovative decontamination technologies for bacteria, molds, and viruses and novel products such as canine hearing protection to support the warfighter.
