Next Generation Mobile Lab Solutions By combining printed optoelectronics with microfluidic technology, NANOIDENT's subsidiary BIOIDENT has developed a revolutionary class of lab-on-a-chip systems, enabling for the first time mobile analytics and diagnostics at the point of use. BIOIDENT develops printed optoelectronic solutions that take lab-on-a-chip devices to the next level by integrating an optoelectronic readout system into the chip. As a result, the user needs only the disposable chip and a small, portable reader; no complicated or bulky equipment is required. The chip enables real-time point-of-use detection capabilities for chemical and biological analytes. One chip can perform multiple tests in parallel. BIOIDENT's PhotonicLab™ Platform enables solutions in a variety of market segments. Medical Diagnostics BIOIDENT's lab-on-a-chip technology can be used to provide point-of-care medical diagnosis, such as for early disease detection. Instead of waiting several days for a lab to process the sample, patients can receive instant results in the doctor's office or a clinic. Environmental TestingIn an age of increasing environmental concerns, water and food supplies are routinely tested for the presence of contaminants. Current testing methods are complex and time-consuming, and can detect only one item at a time. The PhotonicLab™ Platform enables immediate results for a comprehensive battery of tests, allowing a much faster response time to contamination. Chemical/ Biological DefenseIn the event of potential chemical or biological contamination, instant response is critical. Conventional testing requires time and highly skilled users, who may not be available when and where needed. BIOIDENT's technology allows such tests to be performed by nearly anyone. BIOIDENT Technologies Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of NANOIDENT Technologies AG. BIOIDENT's PhotonicLab™ Platform leverages the intellectual property of the parent company's SEMICONDUCTOR 2.0™ Platform to create application-specific solutions for OEM customers.
