Protein Enzyme Reagent Coating

Preservatives and proteins such as enzymes or antibodies are often used to coat medical or forensic diagnostic devices and substrates of various geometries such as slides, tubes, and well-plates. Such devices are used for body fluid chemistry testing and immunoassays to detect specific chemical or biological agents in samples for disease detection and diagnosis, legal investigations, or research statistics in either or both of these fields. These devices are used in medical laboratories and facilities, laboratories, and even at home (in cases such as blood glucose monitoring or at-home pregrancy tests).

Sonaer nozzles and automated robotic coating systems allow for the research and development of such devices, as well as the scaling up of their production. Sonaer systems can be used for test substrate production, namely through cleaning, masking, and etching, as well as substrate coatings with active testing materials such as antibodies or enzymes, protective or control coatings, etc. Sonaer's automated robotic coating systems can be made in benchtop form for research, development, and prototyping, as well as combined with conveyor systems for production-level work. Such systems allow for repeatable, reproducible, and precise coatings on various substrates and geometries with minimal overspray, hence minimizing waste.

Sonaer atomizer nozzles for protein, enzyme, and reagent coating can be adapted with a single or dual micro feed tube, making it possible to coat enzymes and proteins onto medical diagnostic substrates, specimen collection tubes and jars, and well plates, which are then used for laboratory research, forensics, biological agent and disease testing, etc.
