Development projects & daily operation

For assay optimizations we use a Biocore X100 instrument that can mesure binding characteristics of ligands (e.g. antibodies and aptamers) and analytes. Binding characteristics include determination of affinity, binding kinetics and concentration of the ligand or analyte.

Development projects & daily operation

Our serology platforms are:

 

Production & design

The LFA is a commonly used paper-based point-of-care test method for rapid detection of analytes in biological samples such as blood or saliva. The LFA is a simple, cheap and practical detection method that does not require laboratory facilities. The results are displayed within 5-30 minutes.

Production & design

We have the facilities and expertise to generate oligonucleotide aptamers that can be used instead of antibodies as detection probes for specific and sensitive detection of analytes.
