## About

Based in New Mexico, US, and founded in 2020 by Charles Call, BioFlyte, Inc., is a biotechnical company that specializes in manufacturing aerosol mass spectrometers and complementary products that are used in the detection of airborne biological diseases, respiratory pathogens, and low-volatility chemical threats. In August 2023, BioFlyte, Inc. raised USD 5.4 million in series B funding co-led by returning investor Cottonwood Technology Fund and new investor Scout Ventures, with participation from another new investor New Mexico Vintage Fund. As of June 2022, the company is being led by Todd Sickles as its CEO.

The firm offers BioTOF™ z200, which is a bioaerosol identifier that autonomously identifies air-borne threats and notifies the building manager. The firm also produces BioCapture™ z720 which produces indoor, real-time detection of airborne coronavirus. Additionally, the firm offers BioCapture™ z750, which is designed by BioFlyte’s proprietary technology and is a handheld bioaerosol sampler used by defense forces and emergency response teams. Furthermore, BioFlyte offers Sentinel™ 720, which is an indoor air sampling integrated with PCR analysis for the detection of airborne coronavirus in places such as schools, factories, prisons, retail, etc.

The firm intends to use the April 2022 funding to support field validation and the initial production of its BioTOF™ z200.
