Case Study

Maven Biotechnologies

LFIRE Label Free Internal Reection Ellipsometry Chip

Following a brief from Maven Biotechnologies, Sony DADC collaborated with Maven to develop a high-precision polymer prism chip with optical coatings, built on their real-time imaging technology for label-free cell-based assays and multiplexed biomarker detection.

The Sony DADC advantage

Translation of glass design for prototypes into cost-efcient high-volume manufacturing Mastering Fabrication by polymer injection molding Multilayer coating Surface functionalization Component assembly and packaging

The Maven brief Development of an optically sophisticated and complete chip

Increase efciency of low-to-medium throughput laboratory workows by 16-well design Optimize optical multilayer coating design for sensitivity Meet stringent specications for surface smoothness and birefringence to provide high quality images Provide functional surface chemistries for specic biological applications Imprint serial barcoding on chips for identication and tracking Deliver ready-to-use products: packaged and labeled

The Sony DADC solution Efcient development paving the way for mass production
Development of injection molded prototypes based on standard slide format mimicking nal manufacturing Specic material selection and injection molding process optimization to meet requirements for birefringence and atness Implementation of optical multilayer coating with stable adhesion under biological assay conditions Scaling of optical and chemical coating processes Pilot production and manufacturing of LFIRE chips packaged and labeled for the end-user
