SpectroSens - practical and effective chemical & biological sensors

SpectroSens is a unique, patented biochemical detector technology which provides effective and practical detection of biological targets and measurement of chemicals.

Bringing together proven science from the telecoms, optics and biotech industries, this breakthrough in biochemical detection offers substantial improvements in reliability, functionality and cost over existing technologies.

SpectroSens can be used for reliable process control in food & beverage, pharmaceutical and industrial applications; for real-time analysis of biomolecular interactions in life sciences; point-of-care diagnostics in medical applications; and for the detection of bio-threats in Homeland Security.

At its core is an optical silicon chip which by measuring refractive index, accurately analyses changes in a liquid on the surface of the chip and directly measures binding of antigens to antibodies attached to the chip. It produces multiple discrete readings to provide more reliable measurement and detection. The result is a small, robust, versatile and accurate device which can be used for laboratory analysis, process control or bio-detection.
