A portfolio of technologies applies mid-infrared spectroscopy to the analysis of fluids, including blood, serum, and other biological fluids. Tests are non-destructive and the techniques require no reagents or other chemicals. The spectroscopic signatures obtained from the samples can be used to aid the diagnosis of disease, since molecular signatures are unique. Multiple analytes can be obtained from one sample within a single measurement, and typical tests require only 30 seconds. Click here for more info .

By applying mid-infrared spectroscopy to bodily fluids, a suite of technologies offers the potential for quick, accurate, and inexpensive diagnostic support for a variety of diseases in humans or animals. A spectrographic "snapshot" of sample fluids from blood serum, lymph, and saliva can be matched to the unique spectroscopic pattern of known conditions and diseases. Pattern recognition can then result in a quick diagnosis. Because each spectrogram is captured digitally at a moment in time and contains the complete spectrum from the sample, there is no inherent need to preserve the sample. Click here for more info .
