Asklepios
Asklepios is a point-of-care research system that integrates the GeneFluidics electrochemical sensor technology with a microfluidics cartridge. The result is a revolution in molecular analysis - complete automated sample preparation and detection in a small, portable package.
Within the microfluidics cartridge, Asklepios performs the same sample preparation steps that would normally be performed on the laboratory bench: reagent delivery, washing, mixing, and target molecule detection.
The system utilizes a modular microfluidics cartridge with configurable functional components. Application-specific components are inserted into the universal cartridge case. A single cartridge configuration can run a variety of assays. By interchanging the modular components, the possible assay configurations are limitless.
The universal electrochemical sensor array allows detection of multiple targets from a single sample. The revolutionary sensor technology allows any combination of different RNA, DNA, and protein targets to be detected simultaneous in the same cartridge.
After the cartridge has been loaded into the system, the onboard process control runs the entire assay within the cartridge. Typical experiments are complete and results displayed in less than 90 minutes.

Electrochemical Sensor Chip
Ultra-High-Sensitivity Multiplexed Detection Without PCR
A compelling alternative to optical detection. GeneFluidics' novel electrochemical detection platform enables the achievement of ultra-high sensitivities without target amplification by combining the established technologies of hybridization and antigen/antibody interactions with well characterized electrochemical measurement techniques.
Researchers introduce prepared samples directly onto a disposable sensor chip and connect said chip to an electronic reader for quantitative signal measurement.
A direct reading of the sensor chip takes 60 seconds and the entire experiment, including all sample preparation, takes one hour.
Chips are available as bare gold on plastic or pre-treated with a functional SAM layer. The chips have 16 sensors for 16 independent assays. DNA, RNA, and protein targets can be detected on the same sensor chip in a multiplex assay.
