LATERAL FLOW TEST =
IMMEDIATE PATIENT FEEDBACK

Lateral flow tests powered by Sona’s unique gold nanorods can give results within minutes.

Sona’s multi-coloured gold nanorods allow for multiple test lines per unit, with easy-to-read results from one small sample.

Advantages of Sona's Nanorod Technology

Allows one test to detect multiple conditions
Allows one test to maximize use from a small sample
Allows one test to detect multiple analyses for specific conditions
Individual, distinct colours for quantification measurement
Generates amplified visual signals for simpler interpretation
Generates increased sensitivity, specificity & time to results
Sona nanorods have a longer shelf life and resistance to hot temperatures than current technology
Non toxic – CTAB free

APPLICATIONS

Praise for Sona's technology from businesses and academics

“I am very optimistic about the future of Sona; the gold nanorods they make are very versatile, with huge application potential in various fields.”

Dr Shine Xu Zhang

Industrial research chair in applied nanotechnology, Cape Breton University

“Gold nanorods that have been synthesized and stabilized without CTAB are obviously a safer alternative. The fact that such a particle is commercially available today is astonishing. This could be a very important step forward for a number of promising clinical methods.”

Dr Catherine J. Murphy

Gold nanorod pioneer, professor of chemistry, Department of Chemistry, University of Illinois

“Sona’s unique gold nanotechnology is very impressive and has the potential to transform lateral flow. We are proud to partner with such an innovative company and we know that together Sona and Bond can achieve great things.”

Phil Groom

Commercial Director, Bond Digital Health

Seeing is believing in San Diego

This week we are returning to San Diego to showcase Sona Nanotech to the lateral flow world. The Californian city again plays host to the Advanced Lateral Flow Course, one of the highlights of the lateral flow calendar, and for the second year running we are proud to be a sponsor and exhibitor. This year we are particularly excited to be launching our new scientific white paper demonstrating how Sona’s unique gold nanorods are perfectly suited for competitive lateral flow assays. The paper details an experiment that demonstrates that our nanorods can be successfully used in a displacement assay, that
