The spinIT device is user-friendly, reliable, precise and low-cost.
With a single drop of blood, physicians can get results from multi-parameter test panels within 15 minutes.
The spinIT platform includes a powerful SPR based analyser and an optical visualization sensor which are used in conjunction with our proprietary disposable cartridge to provide clinically relevant results including several blood markers and blood cell counts.
Surface Plasmon Resonance [SPR]
SPR is a powerful technique to measure biomolecular interactions in real-time in a label free environment. Surface plasmon resonance 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.
The changesin the refractive index results from the binding between an analyte in solution and its ligand, immobilizedon the sensor surface.

Biological Recognition Layers
The identification of protein biomarkers for disease diagnosis and drug screening is one of the most important issues in the post-genomic area. Protein arrays, more specifically SPR biosensors, are a promising technology in proteomics since it has various advantages including real-time measurement without labelling. The selectivity of the SPR immunoassay and also the intensity of the signal produced are related with the antibody immobilized in the gold surface. Therefore the development of optimal strategies for the antibody immobilization is one of the most important issues to have in consideration during a biosensor fabrication.
