APPLICATION CO-DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Features

Axela is currently identifying interested collaborators to participate in an application development program for various modalities.

Axela provides:

• Expanded training and ongoing technical support
• Reduced pricing on a dotLab™ instrument platform and an initial supply of consumables
• Exclusive support for an application allowing for original publication
• Early access to system upgrades, new sensor chemistries and  software enhancements

Collaborator provides:

• Formal Feedback on hardware/software/chemistry
• Access to preliminary application data (extent to be determined)  

Targeted Applications

The dotLab™ System lends itself to a number of very versatile assay modalities which in turn can support the development of a large variety of applications. We are interested in expanding the systems demonstrated utility in the following areas:

Immunoassay: Immunoassays are used in a host of applications including the detection and validation of specific biomarkers. Multiplexed assays with future diagnostic value are of particular interest.

Biomolecule Interaction: The technology is also amenable to the study of protein-protein interactions, nucleic acids and/or nucleic acid-protein interactions.

Process Monitoring and Control: Rapid fermentation optimization, hybridoma screening, purification development and activity monitoring are facilitated by the small sample requirements and direct detection.

Substrate/Activity: Examples of applications include detecting and measuring enzymatic activities such as proteases and kinases.

Immune Response:  Measurement of panels of immunoglobulin directly in biological samples.

Integration with Other Analytical Methods: The microfluidic component of these sensors also provides great flexibility in coupling the sensors to other technologies downstream, such as mass spectrometry. The dotLab™ system may also provide advantages as a platform to extract more value from proprietary content, such as novel affinity molecules or immunoreagents, by pairing them with the real-time monitoring capabilities of our system.
