How FluoroVettesTM for BioAnalysis in the Life Sciences Can Lower Capital Equipment Costs and Reduce Time To Market

ALine Inc. provides specialty disposable microfluidic tools for the laboratory. Their products are designed to work with standard laboratory instruments, allowing expanded capability with the customers current instrumentation.

Redondo Beach, CA (PRWEB) August 4, 2006 –- ALine, Inc. (www.alineinc.com) enables researchers to perform sophisticated experiments using standard laboratory instruments for fluorescence. The FluoroVetteTM provides a platform for:

-Quicker experiments with no cuvette cleaning
-Cost reduction with fewer reagents needed due to micro-volume capacity
-Prevent analytical error due to reagent carryover
-More accuracy by eliminating cross contamination
-Cost reduction with disposable material versus costly quartz
-Easy to use with short term storage in the FluoroVetteTM
-Compatibility by Fitting standard fluorometer cuvette holder
-Enables sophisticated modern experiments with ability to embed
   Standard reagents
   Quantum dots
   Oxygen sensors

ALine, Inc's founder, Dr. Leanna Levine states, “By designing our products on standard platforms - the microtiter plate, the microscope slide and the standard cuvette for spectrometry, our customers do not have to purchase expensive capital equipment to realize the advantages of low volume, and integrated functionality in a disposable device. We incorporate membranes, flexible valves, and electrodes for specialty applications in the pharmaceutical, medical device, environmental and industrial markets. Our fluidic card for cell culture, which supports NASA’s space biology research program, demonstrates our ability to create high –quality custom products for our customers.”
