Approach
The digital molecular analytics platform is based on analyzing a sample through millions of individual single molecule assays,
then compiling this information to determine the desired result — such as the concentration of a particular analyte.
Digital molecular analytics diverges from conventional analytics in that each single molecule assay is analyzed individually.
This enables implementation of error analysis and selection algorithms to separate signal from noise, prior to reconstructing the output result.
The digital molecular analytical readout separates signal from noise, and is not limited by conventional signal-to-noise ratios.
This provides 100s of times improvement over just about any standard assay format.
Technology
Digital molecular analytics — which relies on the ability to execute millions of individual single molecule assays — represents a paradigm shift in biomolecular analysis. The concept grows from the broader field of single molecule science and is related to super-resolution imaging, which was recognized by the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Ilytica's patent-pending technology introduces new notions of discretizing biomolecular interactions down to single molecule levels. High-resolution imaging provides parallel readout of millions of individual reaction pixels, enabling error correction and reconstruction methods to dramatically change how information is extracted.
In this digital analytic framework, signal and noise are no longer inextricably combined. The result is extreme error tolerance and the ability to work with microscopic samples, rendering assays suitable for mobile device and other distributed platforms.
Benefits
Miniaturization
Miniaturization. The low sample size and high error tolerance enable Ilytica's technology to bring assays that once required a clinical setting into the doctor's office, remote locations, or directly into the patient's hands.
Speed
Speed. The parallel nature of Ilytica's technology enables it to analyze millions of samples simultaneously, enabling results in minutes instead of hours or days.
Applicability
Applicability. Ilytica's technology is capable of imaging and analyzing a wide range of samples, including blood, urine, saliva, and more.
Cost
Cost. The widespread availability of quality imaging sensors and the low cost of manufacturing enable Ilytica's technology to be deployed at a fraction of the cost of traditional imaging systems.
How it works
Step 1:
Prepare the sample using a standard microscope slide and coverslip. Mix a small (microliter) volume of blood or plasma with ilytica's nanoparticle reagent. Incubate for 10-20 minutes (depending on the test).Step 2:
Collect 5-10 images of the sample using the dark field mode on the microscope.Step 3:
Open the ilytica web app and click the “Start Testing” view on the sidebar. Drag and drop your images to upload them. ilytica will analyze them in seconds!
