MX3 Diagnostics was founded to bring laboratory grade testing to the masses for personalised health and fitness monitoring, across a variety of industry settings. 

Heat exhaustion is a huge risk on mining sites, costing the global mining industry $4Billion per annum and resulting in on average 144 fatalities each year.

Hydration testing is one of the commonly used ways to measure an employee’s risk of suffering heat exhaustion. However, traditional hydration testing is often invasive, time-consuming and can yield unreliable results.

MX3 Diagnostics is focused on developing a one-of-a-kind non-invasive hydration testing kit that can provide more reliable results, in real-time, away from traditional testing locations such as clinics or hospitals.

MX3 Diagnostic is changing what's possible for health diagnostics. Their revolutionary platform is the first simple, reliable way to measure and track salivary and sweat biomarkers anytime, anywhere.

Rather than the commonly used urine tests, the MX3 Hydration Testing System uses a saliva sample from the tip of the tongue to take lab-grade measurements in seconds. Using the portable handheld device, disposable test strips, and an easy-to-use app, teams, trainers, military personnel and health and safety managers can finally measure, track, and manage hydration and heat exhaustion risk quickly and easily.

Having already had their patented salivary osmolarity (SOSM) test technology proven in multiple studies and the product utilised in a number of industry and research-based settings including Military and Elite Sports, MX3 Diagnostics is expanding its products into the Australian mining and resources sector to help address the potentially life-threatening impacts of heat exhaustion and heatstroke. 

Widely used across mine sites in Australia including Topdrill and BHP, MX3 Diagnostics have helped top-tier mining companies to streamline and simplify their hydration testing by removing invasive and time-consuming practices. Replacing existing testing with the MX3 device that uses saliva to garner more reliable results in a fraction of the time, these companies have reported encouraging improvement of testing uptake, improvement in the reliability of data and ease of use, contributing to an overall safety of both workers and site.
