The iProtin® Reader by TST Biomedical Electronics Co., Ltd. enables precise quantitative measurement of lipoprotein(a), a key biomarker associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), using Lp(a) assay cassettes based on microchip technology. Using the iProtin® SAW diagnostic platform, the reader employs high-frequency Shear Horizontal Surface Acoustic Wave (SH-SAW) sensor technology to detect antigen-antibody binding in real time – without the need for enzymes or fluorescent labels.
The test requires only 5 µL of blood (capillary blood from a fingertip or heparin-anticoagulated venous blood) to obtain a quantitative Lp(a) value in less than 3 minutes.
The compact and robust reader is suitable for clinical laboratories and point-of-care testing.
