Why Alden?

Through a Google search, we may only seem like a scrappy little start up, but the truth is we're heads down building unique scientific capabilities and looking to disrupt diagnostic markets through novel innovations.

Alden started as a biotech company, but has evolved into a technology company that is commercializing the first diagnostic platform, which combines reagents, hardware, and software to operate as a fully integrated system.

Alden has developed commercial platforms for the agriculture markets (detecting E.coli, Salmonella, Listeria, etc) to disrupt current food safety diagnostic capabilities through introducing scientific and technological breakthroughs to make the world a better, safer, and healthier place!

If you're curious, driven, a life-long learner and someone who wants to take their place as an influencer in an organization that will make a real impact, we'd like to talk to you. We're looking for motivated builders to grow our dynamic and talented team to bring this innovation to market.
