Pearson Matthews Ltd., the design company has a reputation built around innovation and the development of breakthrough products. This will be the first time that the Molecular Vision technology has been designed into a prototype commercial product.
The basis for the device will be the proprietary Molecular Vision technology which uses organic light emitters and photodetectors, coupled with microfluidics for the detection of biomarkers in bodily fluids. The technology was first demonstrated to the public in March 2007. The diagnosis relies on the optical characterisation of labelled biomarker molecules and can use fluorescence, absorption, chemiluminesence or any of the other usual optical detection methods.
Chris Wright, Executive Chairman of Molecular Vision, stated, “We are looking forward to working with Pearson Matthews and Acrongenomics on the development of our first commercial product. In combination, the three of us are able to provide innovative technology, product design and access to the market place.”
About Molecular Vision Ltd.
Molecular Vision is a spin-out company of Imperial Innovations Ltd. The company was founded by three Imperial College London researchers — Prof. Donal Bradley, Prof. Andrew de Mello and Dr. John de Mello — in 2002 in order to meet a clearly defined demand in the medical diagnostics, biosensors and analytical instrumentations markets: the need for miniaturized chemical and biological detectors offering high sensitivity and functionality at low cost. The company has directly addressed this market demand by inventing a novel method for optical detection based on recent advances in organic electronics and light emitting diodes combined with microfluidics technology. The company has mainly focused on applying its technology to the medical diagnostics markets. Molecular Vision recently signed a major development contract with Acrongenomics Inc. to jointly exploit and commercialize the technology.
