BIOCAPTIVA

BIOCAPTIVA is a Scottish biotechnology company developing sample-preparation technology for liquid biopsy. The business emerged from University of Edinburgh research and operates from the Roslin Innovation Centre at Easter Bush in Midlothian. Its legal entity is BIOCAPTIVA Limited (SC609101).

The company's msX technology is designed to isolate cell-free DNA from blood samples. Sample preparation is an important stage in molecular testing because the quantity and quality of the recovered DNA can affect downstream analysis. BIOCAPTIVA is working on products intended for research and diagnostic-development workflows.

The company has secured investment to support product development and commercial activity beyond Scotland. Its location close to Edinburgh's research institutions provides access to the region's life sciences community. Product performance and regulatory claims should be taken from the company's current technical documentation rather than general marketing descriptions.
