Our technology is focused on a solution for a low cost digital immunoassay for the Point-of-Care sectors. Digital means the result is output as a digital signal and usually read as text or digits on a screen or printout.

By comparing the flow rate in a test capillary to a comparator capillary, the effect of environmental factors can be corrected for. The change in flow rate in the test capillary is dependent on the concentration of analyte in the sample. Detection is binary (i.e. presence or absence of liquid) which creates a digital output at low instrument cost. CAT therefore avoids infringement of other patents and is protected by patents covering different aspects of the technology

The present technology is designed so that sandwich immunoassays that require a qualitative (yes / no result) can be adapted to use it. We plan to adapt the technology for hapten assays as well as demonstrating quantification of the results.
