NanoHC™: Next Generation Histochemistry
Using quantum dot nanoparticles and our proprietary “non-stick” surface coating technology, DiagNano provides the next generation of histochemistry products to researchers and clinicians. Nanohistochemistry, or NanoHC™, uses multiple colors of fluorescent nanoparticles to accurately and simultaneously measure multiple biomarkers in a single sample, taking the guess work out of sample analysis and providing oncologists with the best information to make a diagnosis and choose a therapy. NanoHC™ provides a number of benefits over traditional staining techniques:
- Allows for QUANTITATIVE biomarker measurement
- Measures multiple biomarkers simultaneously
- Reduces time required to perform assays and diagnostic tests
- Reduces overall cost
- Speeds up analysis and diagnosis
- Improves repeatability
- Increases photostability over traditional dyes
- Enables samples to be stored for archival purposes
DiagNano is currently developing research products for scientists and clinicians as well as clinical kits for prostate cancer and metastatic carcinoma of unknown primary site. Future developments include kits for flow cytometry and single virus detection.
