OEM/Custom Systems and Services

FIAlab Instruments designs and manufactures custom and OEM systems, including microfluidic manifolds, electronic controls, instrument enclosures, and software development.  These systems often include built in colorimetric and/or  fluorometric sensors, heaters, various  custom fluidic manifolds, syringe and/or peristaltic pumping stations, and a host of valving techniques.   Example custom/OEM systems include the Recycling Immunoaffinity Chromatography Unit (RIAC), the Colifast At-line Monitor (CALM) unit, and the Orthosystem's CAS 200, all shown below.

 

FIAlab also offers custom design and manufacturing of manifolds, flowcells, and other components.


The RIAC System, pictured below,  injects sample through ten uniquely filled columns in series, then injects reagent(s) through individually selected columns.  These reagent(s) are finally passed into a laser induced PMT fluorometer to determine the sample affinity to each column.  Click here for additional information on the RIAC (MS Powerpoint format).

The Colifast At-line Monitor (CALM) is a stand-alone industrial autoanalyser used to determine the presence and quantity of  fecal coliforms in water by monitoring Beta-galactosidase activity fluorometrically.    This instrument is setup for continuous monitoring at remote sites (see photo below).  This system has been running for one year with 100% uptime.

OrthoSystems, Inc. (Syracuse, NY) has leveraged its patent pending OrthoswitchTM sensor technology into a Contaminant Alert Systemâ„¢ (CAS) for continuous, real-time water quality monitoring.

This detection system will employ individual molecular switches (OrthoswitchesTM) engineered to identify bioterrorist and environmental agents such as ricin toxin, cryptosporidium and giardia. These three switches are currently being developed in our laboratories at Syracuse University. Switches for detecting additional CDC and EPA agents are currently under consideration.
