## About

Based in Loughborough, UK, and founded in 2020 by co-founders Mark Platt and Rhush Maugi, Figura Analytics Limited operates as a biotechnology company that develops a nanopore technology platform that characterizes any particle suspended in a solution to transform drinks analysis in the beverage industry. In May 2021, the company raised GBP 180,000 in Seed funding from SFC Capital and other individual investors.

Figura uses microfluidics, sensors, and software algorithms to recognize and characterize particles suspended in a solution regardless of their size and sample matrix. The company's technology uses to characterize nanomaterials, proteins, heavy metal ions, colloids, bacteria, and algae in a range of solutions from seawater, blood, and beverages such as analyzing flavors and filters, thus, replacing the traditional microbiological tests.

The company plans to accelerate the potential of its new platform technology and is looking forward to growing its base in the incubator.
