Next Generation Digital Multiplex Bioassays 

Applied BioCode, Inc.  (ABC) develops cutting edge barcoded magnetic bead technology for multiplex bioassay.  The Barcoded Magnetic Beads (BMB), utilizing a digital technology instead of conventional analog methodology, offers unmatched decoding accuracy, excellent fluorescence detection precision and an unlimited number of barcodes for multiplex tests.  Depending on the number of digits (N) on a single microbead, the number of unique identification codes, 2^N, can be easily extended from 2 (=2¹) to 32 (=2⁵), 128 (=2⁷), and to 1,024 (=2¹⁰). When BMB technology marries biotechnology, it becomes a very dynamic and powerful platform for a wide variety of biological applications, such as routine clinical diagnostics, gene mutation analysis, infectious diseases, biomarkers validation, drug resistance genotyping, and pharmaceutical drug discovery. 

Because of BMB simplicity, reliability, scalability, and exceptionally low cost, this technology can change the format of future in-vitro and molecular diagnostics.

Advantages of our technology:

• Flexible, Customizable Probe Addition - BMB's flexibility enables new probes to be added quickly. 

• Robust System – Easy to use because no complicated laser or flow cytometer is needed. Absolutely no sample beads carry-over.

• High Sensitivity – Optical detection is performed at steady state without fluorescence background or interference from microbead.

• Excellent Decode Accuracy - High contrast digital barcode enables accurate decoding.

• Rapid Reaction – Provides solution-phase kinetics and 15-minute hybridization.

• Ease of Implementation – All processes can be performed in a 96-well microplate without bead loss.  BMB’s paramagnetic properties make them well suited for assays requiring washing, separation, and automation.

• Fewer Lot-to-Lot Variations – All BMB are created equal. Only the barcode varies. There is no need to stock up on a single lot of beads. 

ABC maintains an extensive collaborative network with universities, government laboratories, and industrial partners. We are able to leverage our powerful tools and collaborative network to maximize the benefit to our customers.
