Bio Optical Detection s.l.

technology based company of the universidad politécnica de madrid, prize for the second innovative idea under the actúa-upm programme. in-vitro diagnostic (ivd) by optical interrogation of biochip-kits, mainly without the need of labels (label-free). the majority of the bioassays that are used today relay on labeled detection schemes, but these techniques may have a limited flexibility due to the need of using multiple reagents. opposite to labeled techniques, label-free technologies are achieving promising results since they offer several advantages for ivd: accuracy, precisión, sensitivity, short turn-around time, easy and label-free operation, real time análisis and cost-effectiveness.
