How our technology works
Technology
Planar Waveguide Technology
Enables Whole Blood Analysis
- Evanescent field illumination reduces interference from cells and unbound fluorophores
- The laser’s emission is tuned to minimize absorbance and auto-fluorescence associated with hemolysis
- High-sensitivity imaging system detects very low concentrations
Multiplex Analysis
- Replicates improve precision and test reliability
- Built-in positive and negative quality controls
