Technology
Our patented combination of microfluidics, miniaturised opto-electronics and automation builds the basis of a small, simple and reliable test system
Genspeed® allows the detection of up to 8 different analytes as a multiplex assay on-site within only a few minutes and with high sensitivity
For analysis simply insert the test chip into the Genspeed® R2, add the patient sample (after some preparational steps) onto the test chip and start the appliance. The Genspeed® Report software automatically generates a report of the results.
The advantages of the Genspeed® platform at a glance:
- Multiplex assay
- Automated rapid testing (results in 15 – 20 minutes)
- Easily adaptable for specific customer requirements
- Performance (sensitivity, quantitation,..) comparable with expensive laboratory methods
- IVD-CE certified hardware and software
The Genspeed® technology can be used for a wide range of applications: proven fields of application include nucleic acid (genetic) detection and protein analyses.
While the Genspeed® assays for nosocomial infections are based on the indirect detection of PCR-amplified DNA regions the identification of germs associated with periodontitis directly targets specific RNA molecules. Furthermore, Genspeed® enables the direct detection of up to 8 different protein markers in a single analysis within a few minutes. Our protein assays can be used for qualitative as well as quantitative requests.
