Technologies - Photonic Molecular Probe®
The Photonic Molecular Probe®ª uses a specially prepared beam of light along with
an extremely sophisticated proprietary signal processing methodology to
identify and measure the concentration of target molecule(s). The Photonic Molecular Probe® has multiple medical and
non-medical applications. Important medical uses include noninvasive monitoring
of blood glucose levels, triglyceride levels, hormone levels, licit drug levels
and illicit drug detection. Two very
important non-medical uses include chemical warfare and biological warfare
agent detection. The
Photonic Molecular
Probe® identifies and measures the concentration of a target molecule(s) within
a mixed specimen by using a specially prepared beam of light and detects
multiple physical property changes to the beam of light as it is affected by
target molecule(s). Additionally, the
Photonic Molecular Probe® uses an extremely sophisticated proprietary signal
processing technique, to include Bayesian - based Methodology developed for and
used by NASA and the Department of Defense.
The Photonic Molecular Probe® has many applications including:
noninvasive blood glucose monitoring; licit and illicit drug monitoring;
fermentation process control; and, chemical and biological warfare agent detection,
such as anthrax and small pox. Unlike
technologies based on absorption spectroscopy, its most versatile mode of
operation is the transmission/reflection dichroic spectra of targeted
molecules. The patented device should cost less than $1,000 and be
approximately the size of a paperback book.
