GlyderTech’s innovative bio-electronic sensor technology is easy to operate, costs significantly less per test, and require less than 1 minute from sample to result. A diagnostic test simply requires a sputum or other environmental sample collected on a swab to be inserted within a disposable test cartridge that will accurately report the presence of the specific biological target within seconds to a cell phone or other near-field communication device. No complex and error-prone sample collection and processing is necessary. Only a few RNA or DNA molecules are required for accurate response making the technology sensitive enough to detect viruses in saliva while the patient is in early stages of infection. IDC™ technology is ambivalent with respect to environmental background components. Other groups have tried and failed to produce mass-based cantilever response systems that were proven to be far less sensitive than the proposed IDC™ technology. Proprietary electronics and software algorithms will measure the change in the cantilever properties and send a detection signal to the user.
