[nanoPost] Portable, electronic detection devices for use in in vitro diagnostics

Company USA

- Development of portable, electronic detection devices for use in in vitro diagnostics and other applications such as biodefense, food safety and water testing.

- The company's platform performs multiplexed protein detection using nano-engineered electronic surfaces arrayed on disposable chips.

- Certain transition metal complexes can be tailored such that their electronic properties change when a protein (analyte to be detected) binds specifically to a capture ligand nearby. The result is an electrode whose surface properties have been engineered on the nanometer scale to specifically detect the target protein.
