Invitrox Surface Antigen
Detection Enumerator is a patented unique light scattering
device. This technological breakthrough delivers rapid and accurate
microparticle detection and analysis. ISADE is the only instrument
capable of rapidly determining microparticle quantity, cell of origin,
size, , and unique proprietary phenotyping strategy. This breakthrough
allows detection of previously undetectable microparticles.
ISADE is currently being
evaluated for its capability to provide potential life saving diagnoses.
In myocardial infarction, lab assays such as creatine phosphokinase and
troponin levels are not elevated until after myocardial damage has
occurred. However, elevated levels of microparticles can be detected,
quantified and phenotyped during a patient’s initial constellation of
symptoms, allowing for early and potentially life-saving interventional
treatment.
ISADE is also
being evaluated for its ability to provide early identification of:
- Stroke
- Pulmonary Hypertension
- Coronary Artery
Disease
- Acute Liver
- Cancer
- Metabolic Syndrome
- End-Stage
Renal Failure
- Sepsis
Other applications for
ISADE
that require additional study include the potential for broader
applications of patented assays in disease detection, drug discovery,
drug development, and research.
