The technology behind the spinit® reader relies on Surface Plasmon Ressonance (SPR) , a well established spectrometry technique, that enables the detection of molecular changes on the cartridge's biological recognition layer. SPR biosensors are based on a simple and direct optical technique that can be used to probe refractive index changes that occur in the very close vicinity of a thin metal film surface.
Biosurfit's in-house R&D enables us to integrate several of our proprietary technologies with tried-and-true standard industrial computer systems to provide a cost-effective high precision SPR analyser within a small footprint. Thanks to the modular development approach used in the spinit® reader, several other analyzer modules that we are currently also working on will integrate seamlessly with our current product, enabling us to provide a varied array of tests.
