Our approach is quite different from conventional CE. Through gathering data from many  hundreds of points and using proprietary signal processing algorithms, our technology is able  to produce better quality results than competing CE systems.  deltaDOT patented multipoint  detection system (512 detection points, each sampling at around 20 cycles per second) tracks  the passage of biomolecule bands across the detection window. The proprietary software  derived from particle physics can determine which of the signals relate to the sample and  which do not, thus eliminating any extraneous effects and inaccuracies. deltaDOT's advanced  signal processing technology combined with multi-point detection produces data of high quality  - sensitivity, resolution, quantification and repeatability. 
deltaDOT HPCE instruments 
Conventional Capillary Electrophoresis systems use single point detection. This means each  band of biomolecules is measured by just one detector. As a result biomolecules often need to  be 'labelled' with radiochemical, fluorescent, calorimetric, or luminescent compounds.    Conventional CE instruments cannot differentiate between extraneous interference, electrical  noise, light source fluctuations and other undesirable effects.

Vertexing demo 
The core science behind LFII® originated in particle physics and is now being applied by  deltaDOT to biochemical analysis using Capillary Electrophoresis. The key to LFII® is the use  of a multi-pixel photo diode array (PDA) and the processing of the acquired signals. This  large  data set is analysed by acquiring data from each band of biomolecules as it traverses each  pixel at a specific time point allowing for a distance-time correlation to be achieved. The  system measures the time it takes for any one band of biomolecules to traverse the detector  array and the software enables the molecular weight or charge-to-mass ratio to be calculated  from its velocity. This greatly improves signal-to-noise ratio offering molecular imaging which  outperforms single point detection systems. The deltaDOT system only works with the signals  that intersect the Vertex enabling LFII® to discriminate between system background noise - the  technique known as Vertexing.
PEREGGRINE I HPCE instrument 
13 August 2012 Texas A&M System Awarded National Center for Innovation deltaDOT Ltd. is a partner in BARDA funded international consortium $285.6 million public-private partnership to enhance the nation’s biosecurity preparedness and create jobs in Texas COLLEGE STATION, Texas – John Sharp, chancellor of The Texas  A&M University System, today announced that the A&M System  has been awarded a contract to develop one of three U.S.  Department of Health and Human Services Centers for  Innovation in Advanced Development and Manufacturing. The  $285.6 million contract includes an initial investment of $176.6  million from the U.S. government, with the remainder cost-  shared by commercial and academic proposal partners. 2nd August 2012 deltaDOT Ltd. awarded Technology Strategy Board grant deltaDOT Ltd, announced today that the government-backed  Technology Strategy Board has awarded the company a feasibility  study award for the applicationof its Label Free Intrinsic Imaging  technology to bioprocess analytics. The project “Rapid low cost  formulation screening for protein self-interaction based on High  Performance Capillary Electrophoresis” is a feasibility study that  addresses the need for a costeffective, user-friendly, automated platform technology allowing rapid screening for protein selfinteractions.
LABEL FREE INTRINSIC IMAGING LFII®
Reliability and automation of  PEREGRINE I is suitable for unattended (e.g. overnight)  operation which can increase productivity. deltaDOT Label Free (LFII®) system’s superior  performance and sensitivity obviate the need for expensive (and often toxic) chemical labels.  Design ergonomics, user friendly interface and unsurpassed results in one compact bench top  instrument often resulting in reducing the laboratory costs and overheads.
