Technology

Nanosphere is harnessing the unique properties of matter at the nano-scale to commercialize breakthrough technologies for diagnostic systems and tests.  At the heart of its technologies lie gold nanoparticles and the proprietary chemistry that allows Nanosphere to functionalize these particles with nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) or antibodies to detect molecules of interest from clinical samples.  When combined with multiplex array analysis, microfluidics, and human factors instrument engineering and software development, the gold nanoparticles enable molecular diagnostic and ultra-sensitive protein detection with unparalleled ease of use.  This ease of use will make high-performance, multiplex testing (the detection of multiple targets simultaneously from a single sample) available to virtually any clinical laboratory.
