AptAvian™ AeroRadar™
This fluid (with pathogens) is then pumped into a “lab-on-chip” chamber fitted with four electronic circuits each coated with a unique aptamer fed from a replaceable cartridge. The aptamer generates a readable electronic signal upon finding-and-binding to any one of the four specific target pathogens. The device completes a full cycle from sample collection to graphical/numeric output within five minutes, analyzes both pathogen presence and concentrations, and repeats continuously.
AptAvian™ Aptagenic™ Lateral Flow Assays
Comprised of five sections, the aptagenic™ assays can detect two pathogens. A test sample is deposited on the conjugate pad, and the mixture of sample, conjugates and control react and migrate along the assay strip through a transfer section, the first pathogen test, the second pathogen test, ending in the control test.
The conjugate pad contains two AptaSwitches™ one for each of the two pathogens and a control. Each particle of the first pathogen will react with its conjugate and then anchor to one of the multiple moorings on the first pathogen test section. Each of the second pathogen particles will react with its conjugate and then anchor to one of the different moorings on the second pathogen test section. The third type of mooring on the control section captures the control.
