Frost & Sullivan Applauds Ostendum'sFrost & Sullivan Applauds Ostendum's Development of Multiplexing, Disposable Chips for the Lab-on-Chips Nanodevices Market PR Newswire LONDON, Oct. 18, 2013 -- The group is focused on developing sensitive biosensors, and less expensive optical systems, with the aim of improving the performance of LOC devices Based on its recent analysis of the Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) nanodevices market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Ostendum R&D BV (Ostendum) with the 2013 European Frost & Sullivan Award for Technology Innovation Leadership. Ostendum is a group of companies focused on the development and production of fast, highly sensitive, portable, easy-to-use and cost-effective biosensors for the instantaneous detection of micro- organisms and biomolecules, including biomarkers, proteins and nucleic acids. The group has successfully created proprietary LOC nanodevices, based on an integral optical technology platform developed by Aurel Ymeti, who is the co-founder and CTO of Ostendum, during his doctoral research that was previously highlighted in Technical Insights of Frost & Sullivan. Ostendum's LOC nanodevices have detection limits that are at least 100 times deeper than currently available LOC devices. Ostendum's chip has at least four independent sensing channels, one of which is used as the reference channel, while the other three constitute the measurement channels.
