Acrogenomics Achieve Sub-Molecular Detection of Fluorescent Dye

Acrongenomics, Inc. is pleased to announce that its partner Molecular Vision has reached its target of sub-molecular detection of fluorescent dye.

Using the small-scale demonstrator devices first shown on March 8th 2007, Molecular Vision has continued to develop the detection of fluorescent dyes in a head-on geometry using its proprietary detection system based on organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), microfluidic chips and organic photodetectors. Dye concentrations of 0.1 micromolar have now been reliably measured. With further improvements in the detection system, it is expected to achieve a detection limit of 0.01 micromolar in the near future.

Chris Wright, Executive Chairman of Molecular Vision, stated, "Breaking through the micromolar detection limit is a significant achievement for Molecular Vision as it is thought to represent a world-first for the compact, low cost head-on geometry employed by Molecular Vision."
