Delta Life Science

Pharma scientists and academic researchers are eager to accelerate the development of new drugs and diagnostic tests. And label-free biosensing offers a promising solution. But current technologies are slow, expensive, and limited. Delta Life Science, a TNO Tech Transfer, is ready to change all of that. With a small, affordable, and highly accurate solution that provides answers in a fraction of the time.

Availability for all

The demand for faster development of more effective drugs and diagnostics tests is increasing.  At the same time, development is also becoming more complex, since vastly more antibodies need to be examined. Label-free biosensing enables researchers to study interactions between molecules, conduct kinetics screening for drug candidates, select high-quality antibodies based on kinetics and develop rapid, qualitative biomarker assays in real time. But current solutions require large amounts of precious samples, and are prohibitively expensive and painfully slow. More affordable solutions are less sensitive and provide less accurate results.

Delta Life Science is dedicated to accelerating life science research. They have developed inQuiQTM – the first commercially available, compact, high-speed solution that is affordable, highly accurate and reliable. inQuiQ is now available to academic and pharma researchers, so as to further validate the technology in real-world lab settings.

The inQuiQTM difference

inQuiQ is driven by Nanophotonic Evanescent Field Sensing technology based on photonic chips that carry optical circuits instead of electronics. This highly sensitive technology enables academic and pharma researchers to get better results in a fraction of the time, thereby accelerating drug- and diagnostic test development. inQuiQ offers:

  • More data from each sample: up to 16 analytes per run
  • Data in minutes, not hours: high-speed results to accelerate research
  • Up to 120 analyses per day: far more than current methods
  • From 10,000 to 10 antibodies: faster, more accurate identification of relevant antibodies
  • Wider range of sample volumes: from 25µL to 2ml
  • Faster assay development: up to four times faster than traditional methods
  • Affordability: a fraction of the cost of current market standards
  • High accuracy: even in complex matrices

The combination of these unique features goes far beyond providing a strong return on investment. Results will be more accurate than those found in traditional testing methods. Researchers will save significant amounts of time and money uncovering effective candidates. Moreover, they will achieve faster time to market for their drug compounds.

Industry acceleration

Delta Life Science believes that the more academic and pharma researchers who can reliably and affordably use the technology, the faster development will go for the entire value chain. That’s why they made inQuiQ as compact as a high-end coffee machine, easy to use and affordable for all. The technology has been proven to work in laboratory settings, and Delta Life Science is now offering inQUiQ instruments to researchers eager to validate their efficacy in the real world. At the same time, Delta Life Science is already developing the next generation of biosensor technology, capable of analysing up to 768 samples per day.

Focus on the future

For now, Delta Life Science will focus on accelerating drug development and diagnostic tools for the benefit of human health. After the second generation of the tool has been developed, Delta Life Science aims to continue towards a third-generation machine capable of over 3,000 analyses per day – an almost unthinkable number today, but very feasible with its optical technology platform. However, Nanophotonic Evanescent Field Sensing can also be used for other applications, such as food allergen testing or for testing nutrient concentration in soil. When studies at the molecular level are needed, this optics technology offers a viable solution.
