New Paradigm for the Point-of Care Analysis
BioRet is developing a portable diagnostic device to answer
unmet needs in major market segments
Detection of different antibiotics in milk
Traces of nuts in food
Monitoring of health parameters
Accurate and reliable Drugs of Abuse tests
Toxins detection in the enviroment
Why?
 Today biochip readers are specifically designed for research purposes
 They are not portable, difficult to handle and expensive
To address these market needs, BioRet is developing a reliable yet low
cost solution consisting of:
A reader: The Personal Bio Assistant
Dedicated biochips: The BioMatrix

Innovative Technology for the PBA
To ensure the portability and exact results of the PBA, BioRet uses an innovative,
miniaturised, optoelectronic sensor known as “Intelligent Retina”
Incident light
Intelligent retina
Pixel sample
Processing area
Photosensitive area

The Intelligent Retina ensures a highly sensitive acquisition with no readout noise

Active, self-adaptive pixels allow a biochip reading with an ultra-high dynamic

In situ highly parallel powerful image processing

The Intelligent Retina is protected by 8 patents valid until 2009 and 2019

The BioMatrix: a BioChip for chemiluminescent detetction
BioRet’s biochip packaging format:
The BioMatrix will allow a parallelisation of bio tests
Easily adaptable to
current production lines
Low-complexity
up to 256 spots
Internal standards
Including positive,negative
controls and quantification
standarts
Quantitative analysis
Antibodies in replicates in
different concentrations to
ensure linear binding
Square shape
4 by 4 mm
Chemiluminescence detection
no need for space-filling excitation devices
like lasers
