An introduction to the Magnetic Assay Readers :
The Magnetic Assay Readers (MAR^TM) provides a quantitative detection platform for biotechnology application by employing superparamagnetic nanoparticles (around 60-380nm) as reporter elements.

Magnetic particle detection offers the benefits of sensitivity, speed and low cost.

Features of the MAR^TM platform:
1. Quantitative results -directly correlated to the amount of analyte in the sample
2. High sensitivity -demonstrate a 10-1000 times increase in sensitivity by comparison to visual lateral flow assays,and Magnetic fields are unimpeded by visual barriers.
3. Rapid measurement -measurement of each analytical region is performed in 15 seconds.
4. High flexibility -Instrument with Point-Of-Care Applications
5. Low interference -low magnetic background in biological matrices
6. Economical & Practical - low cost and easily adapted from well-known assay formats.

Application:
1. Human and veterinary disease research
2. Industrial testing
3. Environmental testing
4. Food safety testing
