MENLO PARK, Calif., Oct. 13, 2026 — Abram Scientific, a medical device company focused on advancing next-generation coagulation diagnostics, today announced that it has been awarded a contract of up to $8.3 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to advance its rapid, handheld blood coagulation testing platform CoagCare™ for use in trauma settings. This funding comes on the heels of another $2 million DARPA contract that Abram Scientific received in October 2025 to support miniaturization of the CoagCare system. Across both military and civilian trauma care, severe blood loss and the resulting inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues are among the leading causes of preventable death following traumatic injury. Although conventional blood products are essential to saving lives, their dependence on continuous cold-chain storage, limited shelf life, and reliable donor supplies presents substantial logistical challenges, particularly for far-forward military units and first responders in other austere or resource-limited environments. DARPA’s Resuscitation and Prevention of Ischemia-Induced Dysfunction (RAPIID)1 program seeks to address these challenges by developing a shelf-stable blood analog system, and rapid point-of-care (POC) diagnostics to adjudicate and administer the blood analog system. Abram Scientific’s CoagCare system is a novel diagnostic platform designed to rapidly assess and characterize blood…
