The eSensor® Technology is based on the principles of competitive DNA hybridization and electrochemical detection. eSensor® Technology is highly specific for the target biomarker and is not based on fluorescent or optical detection. As a result, diagnostic tests are less prone to sample contamination risk and do not require time-consuming washing and preparation steps.

eSensor® Technology
The target DNA is mixed with the signal probe solution. If the application target DNA is present, hybridization to the signal probes occurs immediately.
The solution is pumped through the cartridge's microfluidic chamber and the target CNA/signal probe complex completes the reaction with the pre-assembled capture probe.
Voltage is swept across each electrode and target DNA is analysed by electrochemical detection.
