SFC's BioSmart diagnostic platform provides rapid, quantitative detection of proteins, bacteria, or viruses. Its portability, ease-of-use, and rapid, quantitative results make this system perfect for use at point-of-care.
- Utilizes functionalized microfluidic columns created in a disposable snap-in cartridge to selectively capture a biomarker of interest.
- Delivery of assay reagents and detection of analytes is fully automated. Small sample and reagent volumes allow system to be relatively low-cost compared with standard laboratory equipment.
An internal computer allows full instrument control (with on-panel buttons). The system is simple to use, and analysis can be performed by minimally trained practitioners.
User-friendly features of this instrument include portability, modular design of components for easy interchangeability; and snap-in detection and reagent cartridges.
Pocket BioSmart will be a handheld version of the bench-top BioSmart detection system.
