Aptatek is a handheld device that is battery powered and Bluetooth-enabled, allowing patients or doctors to use at home or as a point of care diagnostic device.
Robust Sensor Technology
Aptatek’s core technology was developed in the laboratories of Dr. Milan Stojanovic and Dr. Tilla Worgall, faculty members at Columbia University Medical Center. The technology is based on DNA aptamer sequences that detect small molecule biomarkers which cannot be detected by antibodies. The sensitivity and specificity matches laboratory instruments including mass spectrometry.
Aptatek's proprietary aptamer design strategies and patented sequences create the opportunity for novel tests and new test strategies. The robust format is amenable to a variety of test platforms. The technology can be applied to monitor more than just PKU; Aptatek can detect a wide variety of markers that currently can only be measured in a lab.
