Surfix Diagnostics works on the photonic biosensor. This ultra-sensitive, fast and label-free technology harbours the possibility of detecting multiple biomarkers at the same time. Features that, along with a low unit cost and the ability to easily scale up production, will revolutionize the world of medical diagnostics by enabling PoC diagnosis and treatment monitoring of a wide variety of conditions.
The photonic biosensor technology combines the photonic biochip, in which the actual signal is measured, with a microfluidic cartridge, in which the biological assay takes place in a small sample volume.
Both the photonic biochip and the microfluidic cartridge benefit from unique nanocoatings, which enhance the sensitivity of the sensor and the flow of the sample, and reduce unwanted binding of biomolecules.
The signal read-out of the photonic biosensor is performed with a desktop reader.
