PhotonicSys with its unique technology specializes in the development of proprietary miniature optics and photonics based instruments and systems for the rapid detection of small (molecules, viruses) and large (bacteria, cells) entities in solutions and in gas forms. Our devices can be standalone or integrated into other systems such as optical microscopes, fluorescence and Raman systems. Being miniature these devices can be positioned under a microscope or a spectrometer to probe both concentration, refractive index, fluorescence, Raman, surface shape or other spectroscopic signals. The specially developed plasmonic substrates allow small and large bioentities to be detected. The miniature device can be easily integrated into other instruments so that several measurement modes can be combined with SPR measurement: Miniature Design, binding kinetics analysis, Friendly GUI, and integration with other inspection equipment. Furthermore, Photonicsys special self-referenced substrates allow detecting gases and liquids using the same substrate and without modifications to the system.
