Properties
Salvus™ is a lightweight, handheld and easy-to-use device that can simultaneously detect multiple targets, chemical or biological, providing fast and precise results within minutes. Each unit consists of an analyzer unit and a discreet, disposable cartridge for sample applications or a flow cartridge for monitoring applications.
Handheld Interferometric Detection Technology
- Analyzer: 9.6″ x 4.25″ x 3.33″ – Hand Held
- Weight: 2.24 lbs. including battery and cartridge
- Chemical and Biological detection capable
- Results in under 30 minutes – time from sample to answer
- For antibody test, analysis time about 5 minutes
- Broad assay menu (over 60 assays resulted in successful detection thus far)
- Supports multiple sample types (blood, air, etc. …)
- Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and USB connectivity with Cellular Option
- GPS capable
- Operational in outdoor environments (non-temperature/non-humidity controlled environments)
- Powered via battery or universal AC
Discreet and Disposable Cartridge for Sample Applications
Flow Cartridge for Monitoring Applications
- Both offer multiplex capabilities and rapid deployment for new chemical or biological targets
How It Works
Salvus can test a variety of sample types such as liquids and air using many sensitive materials as a receptor. The receptor may include antibody, antigen, aptamer, RNA, DNA or MIP. Cartridges are pre-configured and ready to use.
Here’s how Salvus Works:
- Waveguides are embedded on the cartridge substrate.
- Bioreceptors or chemically sensitive materials are coated onto the waveguide.
- A laser illuminates the waveguide creating an evanescent field that encompasses the sensing coating.
- The test sample is introduced.
- Binding of the bioreceptor and the target affects the effective index of refraction of the waveguide.
- The index of refraction is measured and reported. Speed, sensitivity, specificity and quantitative reporting are hallmarks of the Salvus technology.
