MOLSID’s innovative technology platform, termed SmartID®, consists of unique enzyme-responsive biotracers that generate a fluorescent precipitate at the site of the enzyme’s activity.
This opens the possibility to design new IVD test kits with unprecedented performance when combined with a dedicated fluorescence reader.
MOLSID has a portfolio of more than twenty operational biotracers that can be used in a wide range of applications as staining agents to detect cancerous tissue or bacterial pathogens, for example, but also to monitor cell growth by tracking the activity of specifically selected enzymes.
In addition, MOLSID has developed biotracers that responds to all beta-lactamase activities. beta-lactamases are a family of enzymes expressed by resistant bacteria that inactivate beta-lactam antibiotics. This mechanism is responsible for the most critical cases of antimicrobial resistance in the world. This unprecedented portfolio of substrates has enabled us to develop kits for the rapid detection of antibiotic resistance.
All the value and performance of MOLSID technology lies in the unique chemical know-how used to develop and manufacture the probes. As the fluorescence emitted is easily detectable under UV illumination, our technology does not require the co-development of elaborate and expensive detection methods such as microscopy or microfluidics. As well as being cost effective, our technology also has the tremendous advantages of being 100% concordant with well-established standard methods and of being quickly integrated into current microbiology lab workflow, with no change in technology for users and no additional cost for expensive detection equipment.
