How It Works

NANO4 technology relies on a colorimetric molecular diagnostic method based on gold nanoparticles that provide fast and specific identification of a DNA or RNA biomarker.

NANO4 technology provides a colorimetric molecular diagnostic method based on gold nanoprobes that allow fast and specific identification of a DNA or RNA biomarker. The friendly use of NANO4 nanodiagnostics puts forward a fast, accurate, affordable technology - the next generation of molecular nanodiagnostics.

NANO4 is the next generation of molecular nanodiagnostics applied to life sciences that provides a simple readout for a number of different biomarkers.
NANO4 is an award winning technology - Santander Totta/NOVAScientific Prize.

Gold nanoprobes provide a visual
colorimetric change to identify
the desired DNA/RNA sequence.

Advantages
  • fast colorimetric output
  • accurate
  • affordable and user friendly
       (no dedicated apparatus needed)



Turn Around Time


Due to the easy and simple operation, NANO4 will impact the way molecular diagnostics are performed and will lead the decentralization of molecular diagnostics - from genetics lab to point of need.


Visual Colorimetric Change
BLANK Gold nanoprobes provide a visual colorimetric change that identifies a DNA/RNA sequence.
POSITIVE Target DNA/RNA prevents aggregation. Solution remains RED after revelator.
NEGATIVE Gold nanoprobes aggregates in contact with a revelator. color changes RED to BLUE
