Novel Marker for High Sensitivity Detection of Human DNA
Human DNA contamination is an issue in the process of manufacturing devices for molecular and genomic applications. Such devices need to be certified human DNA free for sensitive downstream processes. Therefore, there is a need to monitor human DNA residual level in factory surfaces and in final products. The technology provider had identified a no -
Novel Biosensing Platform Delivering Laboratory Quality Analysis in Minutes
We have developed a proprietary analytical platform that combines tiny molecular machines (biosensors) with a compact reading device to provide minimally trained users with laboratory quality results in minutes. Our biosensors are proteins engineered to have a customisable detector and a constant signalling module. The signalling uses bioluminescen -

Rapid Sensing Device with Graphene Quantum Dots and a Smartphone Readout
Quantum dots are nanoparticles which have found unique applications such as in imaging, sensing and even computing applications; these stem largely from their unique and tunable electrical and optical properties. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have gain considerable interests due to their properties such as large surface to volume ratio, low toxicity -
Controlling Carcinogenic Acrylamide Formation in Processed Foods
During the last decade, there has been an upsurge in the consumption of processed ready-to-eat foods across the globe. However, cooking processes, such as frying, grilling and/or baking at high temperatures (>120°C) of foods, especially starch-containing ones like French fries, snacks, breaded products, baked goods, cookies, coffee, nuts etc can re -
Early Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer belongs among the most lethal tumors with the lowest survival rate of all cancers. It is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the US as well as Europe by the year 2020. Pancreatic cancer is very hard to be diagnosed at early stages. Screening tests or examinations may be used to look for a disease -
Creating Novel Healthier Food Formulations Through Systematic Analysis and Design
There is currently a rising trend of functional foods with modified nutritional profiles. This is partly in answer to the global diabetes and metabolic disease epidemic. However, it is often difficult to develop food products with a favourable nutritional profile and yet taste good and similar to the originals which are what consumers often have an -
Dye for Viability PCR
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) or real-time PCR are used to amplify and quantify targeted DNA molecules simultaneously. The process involves amplification of one or more specific sequences in a DNA sample and at the same time, a fluorescent dye is included in the reaction mixture to provide real-time quantification. However, the said PCR-based methods for -
Efficacy Study for Skincare and Personal Care Products or Ingredients
In-vivo efficacy study is not only important for regulatory purposes; it also helps to distinguish a product/brand and appeal to consumers more convincingly among the myriad of cosmetic products out in the market. Efficacy study provides scientific clinical data to substantiate safety and labelled claims, and can be done for both skincare and perso
