What is FREND ? Fluorescence Response Enhanced Novel Diagnostics • The FREND is designed by LOC (Lab-on-a-chip) based technology • For RAPID and QUANTITATIVE immunoassay using small sample volume • Innovative platform developed
Summary of Advantages Fast: Loading Reading Result, Test in an Instant (5min) Accurate : Ensure the Accuracy (CV 5 ~ 7%) Compact : Small & Light Weight Sample : Plasma/Serum 30㎕
The Principle of Reaction Conjugate Zone Sample Inlet Test Zone Reference Zone Sample buffer & conjugate buffer are treated on the settled position and dried. Antibody detector coupled Fluorescence Particle Dark Red F. P. Plasma / Serum PSA 5min Biotinylated Capture Antibody B Avidin Slide Test zone
The Technology MEMS for Device – Membrane Free Revolutionary platform ; Sample, reaction and absorption pads have been replaced by several micro-fluidic components which have been optimized for a FRENDTM device. Membrane-free technology ; No need for sample or conjugate pad
Test for Prostate Specific Antigen The Risk of Prostate Cancer • 192,280 patients were newly diagnosed • with prostate cancer*). • 27,360 patients died • due to prostate cancer*). • Worldwide, 670,000 men were newly • diagnosed with prostate cancer in2008**). • Prostate cancer has the second highest • mortality rate, after lung cancer. • One out of six men may be diagnosed with • prostate cancer in their lifetime. • One out of 35 men may losetheir life • due to prostate cancer. • *)The American Cancer Society (ACS), 2009 • **)European Randomized Study of Screening for • Prostate Cancer (ERSP), 2008
Test for Prostate Specific Antigen • Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a tumor marker specific to the prostate • PSA takes a very important role in early diagnosis of prostate cancer • In general, less than 4ng/ml is regarded as the normal value of PSA • 30~35% men (PSA level is over 4ng/ml) may be diagnosed with prostate cancer • A PSA level over 10ng/ml has a 50% chance in a prostate cancer diagnosis. • The FDA has confirmedthat a PSA test is effective in the detection of prostate cancer • when used in combination with a digital rectal examination (DRE) in men aged 50 years or older***) • ***)National Cancer Institute
Performance Characteristics FRENDTM PSA Measurable Ranges: 0.5 ~ 60ng/mL Cut-Off : PSA 4ng/mL Reaction Time: about 5min Sample Volume: Plasma/Serum 30㎕ Sensitivity : 99% CV(coefficient of variation) : 5~7%
