We will attend ESCMID (European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases) Global 2025 in Vienna, Austria. This key event, from 11–15 April, is a hub for scientific exchange and collaboration and unites leading experts in the field of infection.
Innovative diagnostic technologies drive breakthroughs
The need for novel diagnostic technologies for the detection and treatment of pathogens is still a key topic in the field of infection. Unraveling the intricacies of host-pathogen interactions allows for a better understanding of disease mechanisms and enables development of targeted therapies.
We are at the forefront of this rapidly evolving field, actively shaping its future through our state-of-the-art technologies, innovative modular systems, and integrated automated systems that close workflow gaps.
Mapping the dynamics of infection
In contrast to traditional microscope slide methods, spatial biology holds immense potential for clinical applications in infectious disease diagnosis and treatment. By visualizing the spatial distribution of pathogens and the host immune response, it provides a deeper understanding of disease progression, helps identify novel targeted therapies, and reveals how the immune system combats infections.
We successfully designed and built a mockup – or workflow demonstrator – for a revolutionary Molecular Cartography instrument. The workflow demonstrator simulates the workflow for gene expression analysis within the spatial and morphological context of a tissue sample – at single-cell resolution. For an enhanced user experience, the specifications included simulation of a fully automated workflow, user-friendly interface, and customizable sample and reagent concept.
Single-cell analysis unravels infection complexity
The study of single cells has provided unprecedented insights into the host immune response and the dynamics of infection. However, a prerequisite for downstream applications is that isolated cells are truly individual and viable.
Our magnetic technology for single-cell isolation is based on magnetic microrafts, with each raft designed to hold single cells. This method increases the efficiency of single-cell isolation, ensures minimal manipulation of the cells, and maintains cell viability for several days.
Successfully address the challenges of diagnostics
Why should you partner with us? We have over 30 years of expertise in molecular diagnostics, protein analysis, and cell analysis. Our modular approach based on use of optimized modular units reduces the time and effort required for development, registration, and life-cycle management (LCM) and decrease COGS (Cost of Goods Sold).
Modules that perform the same function in all platforms are identified and selected, which allows them to be utilized in laboratory automation for different throughputs. This accelerates development and reduces risks. A further advantage is that new capabilities can be added as needs evolve.
Let’s meet and collaborate
Make an appointment to meet with us at ESCMID Global 2025 and let’s drive innovation in the field of infection together.
