Technology Overview

The Y Blot is an innovative approach to immuno-blot detection, utilizing gold nanoparticles coated with primary antibodies to achieve unprecedented sensitivity and efficiency. This method simplifies the traditional process by eliminating the need for secondary antibodies and expensive equipment, making it a more accessible and cost-effective solution for researchers and clinicians alike.


Key Advantages

  • 10-100 fold increase in sensitivity, detecting protein concentrations as low as 0.001 µg
  • Reduced cost by eliminating the need for secondary antibodies and expensive equipment
  • Shorter processing time, enhancing overall efficiency
  • Uses serum antibodies, avoiding the need for extensive purification processes
  • Applicable to a wide range of fields including ELISA, flow cytometry, and histochemistry

Problems Addressed

  • High costs associated with traditional immuno-blot detection methods
  • Long processing times that delay research and diagnostic outcomes
  • Low sensitivity of conventional blots, limiting their effectiveness in detecting low-concentration proteins
  • The complexity and inefficiency of antibody purification processes

Market Applications

  • Enhanced diagnostic techniques for medical research and clinical diagnostics
  • Improved processes in vaccine development through sensitive detection of protein-protein interactions
  • Cost-effective alternative for academic and pharmaceutical research, particularly in developing countries
  • Integration into existing ELISA, flow cytometry, and histochemistry protocols, broadening their applicability and efficiency
