Identification and quantification of biomarkers

Objective

Identification and quantification of biomarkers in samples of body fluids.

Results

Microfluidic device based on localised surface plasma resonance (LSPR) for the identification of biomarkers (cells) in blood.

Identification and quantification of biomarkers

The development of methods that enable monitoring the progress of a disease and the response to its treatment has great clinical value, given that it enables decision-making that enhances the course of the patient evolution.

The identification of biomarkers in peripheral blood enables the evaluation of such parameters using non-invasive techniques.

Tekniker has developed an LSPR-based device that couples to a microfluidic device with blood sample, enabling the detection of biomarkers with great sensitivity, and thus, facilitates the monitoring of the disease and the response to its treatment.
