Base of biosensors

Fluofarma has developed proprietary biosensors which can report on specific molecular events involved in a range of physiopathological processes such as cancer, neurodegenerative disease and aging.

Principles

Fluofarma's probes, based on fluorescent fusion proteins, are reporter substrates for specific cellular events. The biosensing proteins are stably expressed in human cell lines and convert a biological response into a fluorescent signal which is measured by flow cytometry. Hence, fluorescent changes in living cells expressing a specific biosensor are linked to the corresponding, specific biological event.

Applications

Cell lines expressing one of Fluofarma’s biosensors enable screening which focuses on a specific biological event. Moreover, our biosensors can help you understand the compound’s mechanism of action.
