Visulife and its features

Visulife, being developed by e2v biosensors, is a benchtop analyser with integrated biochips and reader to enable the rapid and reliable analysis of proteins.

• Single use disposable chips incorporating all reagents required for each analysis.

• On chip sample processing

• Results in 10 minutes

• Protein biomarker quantification

• Auto-calibration

• Multiplexing

• Samples include extracts from cell based assays, tissues, serum and plasma

• Multiple samples per chip

Typical graphical output

      Results are available for immediate review via networked computers.

 

Advantages of the technology

It is through the integration of a number of technologies that Visulife provides the key advantages of:

Sensitivity

Provided by the use of Surface Enhanced Resonance Raman Spectroscopy (SERRS) for detection.

Specificity

Detection and quantification of the target protein biomarker is achieved through bio-displacement of specially selected peptide/antibody pair.

Stability

Robust auto-calibration technique removes variability between chips

Speed

The integration of microfluidics, rapid bio-displacement and SERRS detection provides a simple protocol and rapid results.

Simplicity

All reagents required for detecting protein biomarkers are supplied on a single chip.
