Profile

Samples of body tissue or body fluid are examined by infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The IR spectra of the sample are compared with a reference data bank consisting of IR spectra obtained from healthy material or from pathologically changed tissue samples. Evaluation is carried out using pattern recognition techniques. The technology may be beneficial not only for veterinarian but also clinical use.

Advantages

• Prototype of test system was developed & proof of principle was demonstrated in two independent BSE tests using serum from cattle: excellent basis for successful product development
• Modules of the test system consist of established hard- and software: further facilitation of product development
• Samples from body tissue & body fluids can be tested: easy-to-handle ante-mortem, facultatively non-invasive diagnostic test for TSE
• Test system is applicable in a veterinary as well as in a clinical setting

International patents have been filed and already granted to a greater extent.

The technology was developed at the Robert-Koch-Institute (Berlin/Germany) and is offered by IPAL.
