Farfield Scientific Announces Pan-European Collaboration on Hepatitis Diagnostic Test
The identification and characterisation of suitable antibody interactions falls to the research group of Professor Heinz Zoller of the Hepatology Laboratory, Innsbruck Medical University, Austria, led by Professor Wolfgang Vogel.
"We look for viral infections and tumors. At present, routine diagnostic techniques must be performed in specialist laboratories." explains Professor Zoller. "Our first goal is detection of viral hepatitis, hepatocellular carcinoma and disturbances in iron metabolism."
Farfield's role has been to help quantify the coupling of these antigens to the waveguide surface using Farfield's patented Dual Polarisation Interferometry (DPI) technology, a technique which measures the quantity, structure and bioavailability of the captured antigens. Chemical and physical changes in the antigen are then tracked in real time such that the assay can be optimised.
