Biomensio

Biomensio, located in Tampere, Finland, has developed a powerful, fully digital, mobile multianalyte biosensing platform, consisting of a fluidic cartridge, a mass sensitive microarray (MSMA), and a handheld reader, which is operated by embedded software. Mass sensitive transducers based on film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) technology enable highly sensitive, label-free detection.

This biosensing platform is designed for on-site testing. The user needs to load a liquid sample into the cartridge and push it into a handheld reader, which then runs the assay. Results are displayed on the screen and can be instantaneously sent to cloud. Due to the high multiplexing capacity of the MSMA biosensor, over 30 analytes can be measured from the same sample. This innovative product is expected to have a huge impact for bioanalytics by making diagnostics fast and easy for end-users.

A prominent example is the detection of antibiotics in cow milk. Other potential applications are the detection of drugs in saliva samples, or the monitoring of production levels of proteins in cell cultures.

During production the biochemical content of each MSMA, a set of highly specific capture molecules is added by non-contact microdispensing. Currently, this task is performed for Biomensio by our iTWO-300. For higher throughput, our iONE-600 or iONE-1200 would be the logical next step.
