The versatile analyser for immunoassays and DNA testing

The Evidence Investigator is a semi-automated Biochip Array Technology analyser with research and clinical applications. This compact bench-top analyser contains a charge coupled device (CCD) camera and uses unique image processing software to read test results.

The Evidence Investigator offers a wide ranging test menu across the full Randox portfolio of biochip assays. A number of protein biochips and DNA biochips are currently in development. The Evidence Investigator semi-automated analyser is user friendly and offers a respectable throughput.

Biochips are 9x9mm solid substrates with multiple Discrete Test Regions (DTRs) arranged in an array on the surface.  At present, Randox biochips hold 25 DTRs but, if required, the test capacity can be increased dramatically.

Biochip Array Technology relies on the basic principles of immunology, using competitive and sandwich immunoassays.  Horseradish peroxidase-labelled detection creates a chemiluminescent signal at each DTR, all of which are simultaneously measured by the CCD camera and interpreted by the analyser software.
