Technology

We introduce a new paradigm in understanding how electronics and biology work together: the Biological Processing Unit, or BPU.  Like a CPU or a GPU, a BPU is a type of microchip.

What makes the BPU distinct is the integration of biological material with graphene, silicon, and other electronics materials.

Platform

Cardea’s BPU™ platform consists of BPUs, hardware, software and wetware. The core of the BPU is made up of multiple Cardean Transistors™ - graphene-based biology-gated field-effect transistors.

A functionalized BPU feeds biosignals to the Gateway Reader, that obtains and distributes the digital signal output to the software, the Gateway Analyzer.
