RFID
The microtransponder has multiple uses in tagging and authentication applications where small size is essential. When used in conjunction with a proprietary injector, p-Chips can be placed under the skin of small animals, such as laboratory mice, and used to track them through experiments in research and pre-clinical trials.
Bioassays
When used in conjunction with biological probes, nucleic acids or proteins, and a high-throughput analyzer, microtransponders can facilitate the detection of multiple substances in a single biological sample. This is known as a “multiplex” assay and has been demonstrated in a diagnostic test that detects fifty different mutations related to cystic fibrosis, a major genetic disease.
PharmaSeq has a number of patents and patents pending related to microtransponder technology. PharmaSeq is privately held and based near Princeton, NJ.
