Our Innovative Technology
At BioAerium, we provide comprehensive technological solutions for the detection of airborne viruses and the adaptation of assays to portable and wearable devices. Our platform has a wide range of features that were created with an aim to help you live differently. In order to empower our users to do better, BioAerium is continually building upon its technology, so stay in touch to learn about upgrades and other changes.
For the detection of airborne viruses, optimal sensitivity is required. In the latest version of BioAerium we use a LAMP-based approach that enables detection of less than 10 copies of virus. A comparison of the competing technologies is given below.
Rapid Response to Emerging Pathogens
Importantly, the use of LAMP as opposed to high affinity binding techniques (ELISA or SPR using antibodies or engineered antibodies or nanobodies) enables a rapid response to emerging pathogens. A comparison of the relative response times from discovery to incorporation in a detector is given below.
