Nomadics, Inc. Releases Quantitative SPR Biosensor

The SensíQ(TM) Biosensor Will Make Its Debut at PITTCON(R) 2006

Nomadics, Inc., a Stillwater, OK based technology company, unveils its biomolecular interaction analyzer at PITTCON 2006 in Orlando, Florida -- the largest U.S. instrumentation show. The SensíQ provides quantitative, label-free surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based analysis to labs of any size.

In the past, researchers have been dependent upon core facilities for access to high-quality, biomolecular interaction analysis. Due to the innovative design of the SensíQ, this powerful characterization technology is now available to mainstream researchers in a cost effective instrument.

Nomadics began SPR-based research in 2000 and received licensing to develop and distribute SPR evaluation kits utilizing the Texas Instruments(TM) Spreeta(TM) biosensor that same year. Last summer, after five years of sales and advanced research, Nomadics received additional licensing for the improved and miniaturized technology platform as well as specific distribution rights which allowed SensíQ to be developed.

SensíQ offers highly sensitive, multi-channel capabilities at a fraction of the cost of instruments with like performance. SensíQ provides high data quality in a dual channel biosensor complete with advanced microfluidics, custom surface attachment chemistry and state-of-the-art data analysis tools. Optimized real-time reference curve subtraction and implementation of the well established double referencing technique yields the highest quality kinetic and affinity data.

Nomadics is vigorously pursuing further SPR opportunities in life science research, biodefense and food safety. The Bio-Instrumentation Group performs advanced research and development in this field at the Nomadics facility in Oklahoma City.
