Welcome to SpectraPoint.net
SpectraDigital Corporation (SDC) is a technology company that specializes in the development of simple, easy-to-use, medical diagnostic tests for use in low-resource settings.
SDC’s light scattering-based technology platform can be adapted for use in a variety of applications. HIV SpectraPoint, is our first application that assesses the efficacy of AIDS anti-virals using a simple blood test; assessing the efficacy of the anti-virals This method can provide information similar to the genotype/phenotype test at a much lower cost.
Other uses for SDC’s platform include developing lead chemistries, drug assessment, evaluating the efficacy of drugs, environmental monitoring, and other settings involving the measurement of cellular reactions and cellular response to metabolic agents.
Advantages of SDC’s technology platform include:
- Adaptive to a variety of settings ranging from blood to pathogens
- Speed of analysis. Research time can be significantly reduced as light scattering measurements are inherently rapid and offer superior speed of analysis.
- Portability. Rugged equipment can be transported to any research lab or field site. An internet connection can facilitate remote assistance with SDC headquarters for quality control and analysis.
- Reduced Cost. Design with low-cost components provides a robust technology platform for a very low cost.
