SPIRIT
The SPIRIT is a rugged, portable, multi-analyte, instrument based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors. Demonstrated ability to detect pathogens and toxins from complex sample sources. Integrated and automated fluidic systems allow injected samples be passed over 4 or 8 sensor chips installed in a temperature-controlled flowcell.
