Our instrument is an onto-electronic reader that operates on battery (chargeable via solar panel). It is a mobile (4x5x8”), easy to operate minimal training. Additional features could easily add such as transmission of data from point of test to centers of data processing, and epidemiological statistics. High throughout, mobility and reproducibility Of testing afforded by non-perishable FND-(NV) core.
A Nanodiamond is forever. At least, in terms of fluorescence signal, they are. Fluorescent nanodiamonds never photobleach or blink. Bikanta's nanodiamonds are differentiated by coatings that stabilize the particles to withstand a range of conditions. Rather than having the typical unreactive surface, they can be tightly bound to any targeting agent (e.g. aptamers, antibodies, polymers) and can therefore be tailored to detect specific diseases. These nanodiamonds derive their fluorescence properties from negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV¯) centers, a color center or defect in the diamond lattice consisting of a substitutional nitrogen and a neighboring lattice vacancy. They are fluorescent sources with remarkable optical properties including: - quantum efficiency near unity - indefinite photo-stability (no photo-bleaching or blinking) - broad excitation spectra - exquisitely sensitive magnetic field modulation of fluorescence emission - long fluorescence lifetimes (~17ns) Fluorescent Nanodiamond Particles
