iDiagnostics
Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) is sensitive down to single molecules and can detect thousands of bioanalytes simultaneously. The iDiagnostics (iTIRF) biosensor is a tool with analytical power similar to that of large and expensive clinical laboratories. iDiagnostics (iTIRF) can be used for personal diagnostics, early detection of cancer, food safety applications, for measuring individualized responses to therapies, and for the use in field environment, where electrical outlets and running water are not available.
