Research Tool Development

  • Researchers at the University of Kentucky are evaluating the NDT instrument as a next-generation replacement of the traditional Western Blot assay.

    • Early results demonstrate a drastic reduction in test turnaround time from days to 20-30 minutes.

    • Validated results with HER-2 and p-tau 217 biomarkers.

  • Optimize physical footprint size of the NDT system while delivering enhanced performance, reduced cost and overall simplicity of operation.

  • Automate factory calibration process—ensuring every instrument is fully calibrated before shipment and eliminating the need for any future field calibration.

Additional development opportunities of the NDT instrument:

  • Food Safety

  • Animal Feed Safety

  • Bioterrorism

  • Real-time connectivity with Laboratory Information Systems (LIS).

    • Enables seamless data integration, streamlined workflows, and enhanced traceability to support regulatory compliance.

  • User interface continually refined through ongoing, feedback-driven software updates.

    • Designed to improve system intuitiveness and efficiency for laboratory technicians.

  • Platform support of an expanding menu of newly developed test assays.

    • Allows for rapid adoption of new diagnostics without requiring hardware modifications.

  • Platform development roadmap focuses on:

    • Increased automation

    • Faster time-to-result

    • Scalability for high-throughput lab environments
