Ambri's core technology, the Ion Channel Switch (ICS™ ), consolidates more than a decade of research by the Australian Membrane and Biotechnology Research Institute (AMBRI), CSIRO and the University of Sydney. The ICS™ technology is a novel biosensor technology based upon a synthetic self assembling membrane. The membrane acts like a biological switch and is capable of detecting the presence of specific molecules, and signalling their presence by triggering an electrical current. Many competing biosensor technologies rely on colormetric changes of solutions, measured photometrically for a quantitative reading. Ambri's ICS™ biosensor has the ability to detect a change in ion flow upon binding with the target molecule resulting in a rapid result currently unachievable using existing technologies. The Ambri ICS™ biosensor may have applications in various markets including healthcare, food, environmental and other areas. Click to learn more about the Ambri ICS™ technology. A scientific research paper has been published internationally in the August 2007 edition of the Material Research Society’s Journal of Materials Research. Click here to read the paper.
