Put simply, Biochip Array Technology is a multi-analyte testing platform allowing the simultaneous quantitative or qualitative detection of a wide range of analytes from a single sample. It provides a unique platform for assessment of biological samples in a rapid, accurate and easy to use format. The problem with traditional diagnosis Traditional diagnosis takes the form of single analyte assays, even though several tests are usually required. This may result in multiple patient blood draws, increased reagent volume, ultimately increasing time to diagnosis. The solution In response, Randox...

ASSAY FORMATS Protein / Antibody assay formats Competitive immunoassay In a competitive immunoassay, the more analyte present in a sample, the less labelled conjugate that will bind to the immunoreaction site. Therefore the signal produced will be low. If there is little analyte in the sample, more labelled conjugate will bind to the capture antibody resulting in a higher signal. Sandwich immunoassay In a sandwich immunoassay, the more analyte present in a sample, the more conjugate will bind to the capture antibody. As a result, the signal will be high. Conversely, lower signal is produced...

The biochip detection system is based on a chemiluminescent signal. This is the emission of light, without heat, as a result of a chemical reaction. An enzyme is used to catalyse the chemical reaction on the biochip which generates the chemiluminescent signal. The light emitted from the chemiluminescent reaction that takes place in each DTR is simultaneously detected and quantified using a Charge - Coupled Device (CCD) Camera. This CCD Camera simultaneously records the light emission from all the discrete test sites on each biochip on the biochip carrier. Analysis process on biochip systems...
