SPATIALLY MULTIPLEXED SPECTROPHOTOMETRY: FAST SPECTRO
CONTEXT
TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY
The idea is born out of the discrimination of cancer cells from healthy cells by novel physical biomarkers. Develop the instrumentation for the investigation of cell mechanics, a tool-box of three converging technologies for the aim of discriminating cancer and healthy cells from their physical properties: AFM, label-free microscopy and nanomechanical sensors.
This technology is a new label free optical technique named Spatially Multiplexed Spectrophotometry (SMS). The technique allows spectral characterization of surfaces with one order of magnitude better lateral resolution than actual spectrophotometers, and two orders of magnitude shorter analysis time.
Preliminary discussions with potential licensees and investors have already shown a potential interest in the technology exploitation exists.
This technique has been applied to the classification of cancer cells by their refractive index and their mechanical properties.
BENEFITS APPLICATIONS This technology could be of interest in the following applications, according to the range of benefits it offers: screening of carcinogenic mechanical biomarkers mems quality control plasmonic biosensors
Improved
resolution and throughput: due
to a new concept for nano-spectrophotometry with one order of magnitude better lateral resolution.
Earlier diagnosis of cancer: This technology will allow scientists to advance in diagnosis, with two orders of magnitude shorter analysis time.
