It offers advantages in that a broader base of rheological properties and suitable additives can be examined, is more predictable and has a higher print speed.
About
About this Techonology In this technology, antibodies are patterned onto flexible plastic films using the flexographic process so that reel to reel printing may be used. A nitrocellulose coating is used to enhance both binding with the surface and print definition.The ability to deposit arrays of antibodies using this process greatly increases the speed of production compared to current processes. The technology provides a low cost disposal assay technology. These faster patterning methods can be used for applications such as enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) and biosensors and will aid in early diagnosis of disease and facilitate cost effective health management. It offers advantages in that a broader base of rheological properties and suitable additives can be included, is more predictable and has a higher print speed whilst maintaining bioavailability of the antibody.
