Innopsys is proud to announce the commercial partnering with Sysmex Spain for the commercialization of a full package including the CytoSure aCGH arrays and the InnoScan scanners. This collaboration takes place as part of a longtime patterning with Oxford Gene Technology, and corroborates the use of the InnoScan scanners as the first choice to scan…
Mapix software manages microarray image acquisition and analysis. Version 9.0.0 includes the gridding of rectangular and square features in addition to the classical circular spots. In order to address user’s requirements in the analysis of high density peptide arrays, Mapix is now able to manage global background calculation, based on an area defined by the…
The English physicist George Gabriel Stokes coined the term fluorescence in 1852. He observed blue light emitted by fluorite crystals (calcium fluoride) illuminated by ultraviolet light. Even if the emission was related to impurities in the crystals, the term ‘fluorite’ inspired Stokes to name this phenomenon. The biological and biomedical sciences use fluorescence physical…
Digital pathology (DP), also known as virtual microscopy or whole slide imaging (WSI), is an alternative to conventional microscopy. Beyond enabling a fully digital workflow for anatomical pathology departments, this technology consists of digitizing a glass slide to produce a digital image. This technology therefore meets the needs of microscope users who seek to visualize…
Glycan arrays are efficient tools leading to the discovery of therapeutic strategies. InnoScan analyses of glycan arrays enable to identify specific glycan interactions. With the development of antibiotic resistance, infections are harder to treat. According to the WHO, antimicrobial resistance is one of the current global health threat. Therefore, it is urgent to find novel…
Several diseases are difficult to diagnose when there is a poor number of specific clinical markers or physical symptoms. This is the case of the actual Covid19 pandemic. According to the Pasteur Institute, 30 to 60% of infected people show an asymptomatic form of the disease, specifically for young people. To deal with virus transmission,…
Since many years, Nirmidas and Innopsys work toogether to offer high tech solutions as Nirmidas Biotech pGOLDTM assay. It is an innovative microarray platform for viral infections screening and protein biomarkers analysis (Zika, Dengue and SARS-CoV-2, among others). Nirmidas’ technology use proprietary gold-coated slides based on nanotechnology. This technology gives superior sensitivity and precision for…
Peptide arrays technology is an ideal tool to identify epitopes and develop synthetic vaccine. Vaccination, one of the main work of Jenner in the 18th century, aims to stimulate immune responses against pathogens and microbes. This is the most effective method for protecting individuals from infections. Persistent vaccination has eradicated some diseases as smallpox .…
We are proud to anounce that our InnoScan 710-AL was notified to PMDA as a medical device. PMDA (Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency) is Japanese regulatory agency, working together with Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Their obligation is to protect the public health by assuring safety, efficacy and quality of pharmaceuticals and medical devices.…
