ASMS & Huwel to Launch Cubo, Revolutionary Point-of-Care Diagnostics Platform
ASMS and Huwel Lifesciences are launching Cubo, a compact, affordable RT-PCR platform for point-of-care molecular diagnostics. This indigenous innovation aims to expand healthcare access, particularly in underserved regions. The platform supports a wide range of assays, offering a significant early-mover advantage in decentralized healthcare.
The launch of a new diagnostic platform is a significant development for the company, potentially opening new revenue streams and market segments. However, the full impact will depend on market adoption and commercial success.
The announcement details the launch of a new, innovative product that has the potential to significantly improve healthcare access and provide a competitive advantage to the company. This is viewed positively.
Avio Smart Market Stack Limited (ASMS), formerly Bartronics India Limited, in collaboration with Huwel Lifesciences, has announced the upcoming launch of Cubo, an RT-PCR platform designed for point-of-care molecular diagnostics. This innovative, compact, and affordable platform aims to expand access to molecular diagnostics across India and global healthcare systems.
Cubo is positioned as an indigenous innovation, combining laboratory-grade RT-PCR capabilities with a portable and cost-efficient deployment model, expected to provide ASMS and Huwel with a significant early-mover advantage in the rapidly growing healthcare technology segment. The platform is designed for decentralized healthcare, enabling advanced molecular testing in rural clinics, district hospitals, mobile health units, and remote regions where access to centralized labs is limited.
The platform addresses the challenge of diagnostic samples traveling long distances to centralized facilities, which often leads to delays and logistical inefficiencies. By enabling accurate RT-PCR testing at or near the point of care, Cubo aims to reduce turnaround times and operational complexity, aligning with the global trend towards localized diagnostic models.
Cubo features a simplified workflow and an intuitive user interface, making it suitable for use by healthcare teams in diverse settings. Its versatility allows for a wide range of assays, including tests for tuberculosis, respiratory infections, influenza, viral panels, women's health diagnostics, and future outbreak-response applications, positioning it to build a substantial installed base.
Vidhya Sagar Reddy, Managing Director of ASMS, stated, "Healthcare access should not be determined by geography. Cubo represents a major step toward bringing advanced diagnostics directly into underserved markets at scale." Shesheer Kumar, Managing Director of Huwel Lifesciences, added, "Cubo has been engineered to combine scientific precision with operational simplicity. Early leadership in compact molecular diagnostics can translate into sustained long-term market strength."
ASMS has strategically expanded into the health-tech sector to support the development and commercialization of innovative diagnostic technologies aimed at improving access to affordable healthcare across India.
