Accelerating Rapid Point-of-Need Testing

SAFTIR is a unique highly sensitive transducer platform for rapid test assays developed by VTT. The SAFTIR platform is compatible with numerous fluorescence assay chemistries to perform rapid tests in e.g. food safety, animal health, medical diagnostics, environment and industrial hygiene. SAFTIR challenges the state-of-art lateral flow assay (LFA) approach with new surface sensitive detection principle.

BENEFITS

  • High speed response
  • Extreme sensitivity
  • Compatible to numerous fluorescence assays
  • Less matrix effects – easier sampling
  • Compatible with opaque samples
  • Cost-efficient technology
  • Platform for multianalyte test strips
  • Reliable and easy to use
  • Digital by design

SAFTIR basic concept consists of analyte specific disposable test strip and a reader device (schematic illustration only).
