Our Story

Fluorityx evolved out of Professor Tim Swager’s laboratory in MIT’s Chemistry Department and now operates as an independent company. MIT has granted Fluorityx with the exclusive license to all patents.

Our first-generation PFAS polymer sensors are built on the design architecture behind a successfully commercialized explosive detection system originated in Professor Swager’s MIT lab in 2002 and deployed across the military and homeland security agencies today.

The Tech

Our success comes from the PFAS sensing capabilities of a specially designed amplifying fluorescent polymer (AFP)
