Field-deployable sequencing intelligence

Answers at the sample.
Not after the lab.

Plug in, match raw sequencer signals to your targets, and get a clear result—without basecalling, cloud upload, or a laptop in the loop.

  • No basecalling
  • Edge FPGA
  • Microsecond match
About us

Sigtrace builds edge hardware that turns third-generation sequencer output into actionable yes/no answers where the sample is collected—farms, ports, clinics, and remote sites.

Sequencing is fast. Waiting on interpretation is not.

Your sequencer produces a continuous stream of raw signals as molecules are read. Turning that into an answer—Is this pathogen present? Is this sample authentic?—usually means shipping data to a laptop or cloud service running heavy basecalling software.

That slows you down, ties you to connectivity, and pushes critical decisions back to central labs. For field teams, the gap between “sequence collected” and “answer in hand” is still too wide.

Match signals at the source

A plug-in FPGA module hosts your third-generation sequencer and compares live signals against your preloaded reference library. When a pattern matches, you get an alert in microseconds—while the run is still underway.

  • No basecalling
  • No cloud
  • No laptop

Same-day results in the field—not days later from a central lab.

Technology

From sequencer to answer in microseconds

Raw signal in, match out—processed entirely on the module at the edge.

Why Sigtrace

The Sigtrace advantage

  • Instant signal matching

    Skip heavy basecalling and get answers while the run is live.

  • Built for the field

    Low power and a small footprint—works where connectivity doesn’t.

  • One module, full host

    No external PC. Sequencer and processing in one deployable unit.

  • Swap targets quickly

    Update reference profiles for the pathogen or marker you need today.

Use cases

Built for teams who can’t wait on the lab

  • Agricultural biosecurity

    Detect threats before they spread.

  • Food safety & supply chain

    Verify authenticity at the point of inspection.

  • Environmental monitoring

    Screen samples on site.

  • Defense & CBRN

    Rapid field identification.

  • Outbreak response

    Shorten time to an actionable call.
