IVD SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS

6 technologies in the IVD supplies

1. Microfluidic chip technology
Microfluidic chip, also known as Lab on a Chip, refers to a miniaturized, integrated, and automated chemistry and biology experiment platform diagram built on a chip of a few square centimeters or less.
Through the microfluidic chip, the experimenter can complete the functions of sampling, pretreatment, reaction, separation and detection in the chemical laboratory on a micrometer-scale chip, and automatically complete the analysis.

2. Nanobiotechnology
Biological macromolecules exist at the nanometer scale, and single molecule detection is inseparable from nanoscience. Nanomedicine is an important emerging field of nanoscience research. It is a frontier field of interdisciplinary research closely related to human body health that is prioritized by all countries in the world. It is full of opportunities and challenges for scientific innovation.

3. Third-generation single molecule sequencing technology
The third-generation single-molecule direct sequencing technology does not require PCR amplification, and can directly detect a single DNA molecule, avoiding the errors and preference problems introduced by PCR amplification, while also greatly simplifying sample processing and sequencing steps and shortening the sequencing cycle.

4. Big data and artificial intelligence

5. Single molecule immune array technology
(SiMoA) Multiple detection technology
SiMoA is currently the most sensitive immunoassay method, similar to the traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), but the sensitivity is increased by 1,000 times compared to ELISA.
Because in the ELISA detection method, the fluorescence produced by the labeling enzyme will be dispersed in a large range, and it is impossible to detect low concentrations of trace substances; while SiMoA cleverly uses a femtomole level reaction chamber array to capture and detect single molecules and control the fluorescence divergence, so that the detection accuracy is greatly improved.

6. Liquid biopsy CTC detection sample processing
Current liquid biopsies mainly use ctDNA / RNA, CTC (circulating tumor cells) and Exosomes (exosomes) in the blood as biomarkers for tumor diagnosis. Comprehensive liquid biopsies should also include body fluids other than blood, such as urine and saliva, Tumor-derived information in pleural effusion and cerebrospinal fluid. The clinical value of liquid biopsy is based on the clinical relevance of indicators and the sensitivity and specificity of detection and analysis techniques.
