The point of care diagnostics is capable of performing the identical diagnostic tests currently conducted inside a central lab in the clinician’s office. The GMR sensor is made in to the microfluidic cartridge that contains all the reagents necessary to conduct the diagnostic test, along with instructions to the reader for how to handle reagents, the timing from the reaction(s), the flow rates with the microfluidics as well as the information to become reported without further intervention from the operator. The microfluidic cartridge is capable of handling plasma, serum, whole blood or other body fluids including urine, saliva and cerebrospinal fluid.
The GMR technology for the immunoassays has a large dynamic range as well as sensitivity. The large dynamic range means that it really is able to quantifying an analyte on the wide variety of concentrations, which can be useful for quantifying biomarkers that may be present at a great deal of concentrations in the population or fluctuate on the range within an individual. The high sensitivity of GMR biosensors means that the system is capable of conducting high sensitivity assays for analytes present at really low concentrations, like troponin in healthy adults.
Using the lab on the chip technology the biosensor could be multiplexed and accustomed to detect and report the results from multiple analytes simultaneously from a single sample. This capability can provide the clinician using the recent results for several biomarkers that when combined offer a more accurate or complete diagnosis or enhance the monitoring of your previously diagnosed disease inside a patient. This includes diagnosing acute diseases like lots of the infectious diseases, the monitoring of chronic diseases like diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis symptoms in order to measure the effectiveness of ongoing treatments like those for cancer or cardiac disease.
As well as the utility of the Zepto Life Technology platform inside the medical field, the high specificity and versatility with the GMR sensors can make it adaptable being implemented in other fields. The GMR platform could be used in environmental monitoring for your assessment of toxins in water or nutrient levels in soil. It doubles for the monitoring of the food to assess the quality and safety of food and beverage products.
The multiple analyte capabilities, small size and speed from the result delivery of the GMR system can make it very adaptable and capable of being used across many fields to enhance the lives and excellence of life for many individuals.
