BioNavis Ltd

2006

We are a Finnish manufacturer of scientific instruments that are used in Life sciences (Drug development, Biophysics, Cell based assays, Biosensors) and Material Sciences (Biomaterials, Thin solid films, Nanoparticles, Graphene, Electrochemistry). We have redesigned the well established Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) beyond the traditional affinity and kinetics measurements to quantify conformational changes as well as to enter cell based assays and material sciences. We have several unique features that empower the users to get more information from the same sample as well as to measure samples previously impossible to be measured with SPR.
All MP-SPR Navi(TM) instruments are designed and manufactured in Finland.
Majority of our customers are in research laboratories. Over the years we have proven our technology in more than a hundred of scientific publications. In recent years, we started to move also to industrial applications in quality control.

We manufacture instruments for label-free real-time measurements of molecular interactions as well as for nanoparticle and nanolayer characterization. The instruments are based on Multi-Parametric Surface Plasmon Resonance.
The MP-SPR Navi family of instruments consists of:
200 OTSO - for measurements in gas, open platform, semi-automatic
210A VASA - for material sciences, fully automated 6 liquid samples
220A NAALI - for life sciences, fully automated 96-well plate, 2 measurement channels
420A ILVES - for life sciences, fully automated 96-well plate, 4 measurement channels

We also provide consumables, such as sensors (Au, SiO2, TiO2, PDMS, CMD, protein A,..) and accessories (such as fluorescence, electrochemistry flow-cells).

Besides instrumentation, we also offer measurement and testing services, such as
- protein-protein interactions
- protein-antibody interactions
- drug-target interactions
- nanoparticle-target interactions
- molecule/nanoparticle interactions with hydrogels, polymers, metals
- controlled release of drugs/nutriceuticals from solid layers

Our clients include companies from pharmaceutical, biosensors, specialty chemicals, precision mechanics and semiconductor industries.
