Gradientech: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Gradientech is a Swedish in vitro diagnostics company that supports the modern microbiology lab with cutting-edge solutions to facilitate the workflow with time-critical samples. Our product, QuickMIC®, is an ultra-rapid system for antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) of positive blood culture samples from sepsis patients. QuickMIC® is a scalable system with each instrument analysing one sample against a tailored gram-negative antibiotic panel. MIC values are reported in as short as 2 hours, making it more rapid than any other diagnostic system for phenotypic AST. Gradientech’s technology combines microfluidics with live imaging to analyse bacterial responses on a linear antibiotic concentration gradient. The revolutionary technology delivers MIC values with unprecedented precision in record time.

About FundedIQ's Gradientech Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Gradientech is left off this page rather than filled in.
