ampliPHOX Colorimetric Detection Technology

ampliPHOX

Provides Fast, Visual Results for Microarrays

DNA microarrays represent promising technology for accurate, multiplexed, and rapid pathogen detection and identification. Until now, several practical issues, such as expensive fluorescence detection systems, have prevented widespread use of microarrays in microbiological analysis.

ampliPHOX Colorimetric Detection Technology is an inexpensive alternative to fluorescence detection for both nucleic acid and protein applications. Rather than a fluorescent label, ampliPHOX Colorimetric Detection Technology utilizes a photoinitiator that, when activated by light, generates signal amplification through polymerization of an organic monomer. The detection technology is easy to use and can be completed within minutes when applied to low-density microarrays. The ampliPHOX Reader is used to activate photopolymerization on low-density microarrays, to image the resulting pattern of visual spots, and automatically interpret the image – providing the user with immediate results.
