Technology

Click on a button for more information on GeneFluidics' sensor technology.

GeneFluidics’ sensor technology enables quantification of nucleic acids and proteins in unprocessed samples on a single platform. Our patented sensor fabrication and electrochemical detection methods provide high sensitivity even in unamplified, unpurified biological samples. Results are delivered within 1 hour.

  • Functionalization -> Capture -> Wash -> Reporter Binding -> Wash -> Detection

Ultra-sensitive

Sub-femtomolar (genetic material) and sub-pg/mL (protein) sensitivities are made possible by taking advantage of high turnover enzyme cycling.

Multiplexed

A combination of immunoassays and genetic assays can be performed simultaneously on a sensor array.

Versatile

Compatible with most ELISA reagents while providing superior performance.

NEW! GeneFluidics now offers an assay compatibility study serviceAdobe Reader Required.
