vanderWaals®
Introduction
Our technology can differentiate non-cancer and cancer cells based on wax physisorption kinetics (WPK). Using wax molecules as probes, differential physisorption between the probes and glycans on the cell membrane can be quantified using a FTIR microspectroscopy. The quantified data can then be used as an indicator for cell disease states.
The company has developed an automated system, vanderWaals® that performs automated physisorption processes on biosamples for FTIR measurements.
