Meet SPARTA
The patented SPARTA® technology, available now for analysis service, is the product of years of leading innovative research by multidisciplinary UK-based experts in analytics, chemistry, optics and bioengineering. Professionally constructed by a CMO with 100+ years of experience in precision optics prototyping
SPARTA® is powered by Raman Spectroscopy, analysing the specific interactions light has with the molecules in the nanoparticles to reveal in a non-destructive and label-free way their composition
A powerful 785 nm laser is at the core of SPARTA®, regulating the trapping of single nanoparticles and supplying simultaneously the light for their analysis. Using this near-infrared laser does not damage the particles and it is carefully enclosed in the system to prevent user exposure
SPARTA® features a custom high-end light collection and detector assembly to convert the light from the nanoparticles into a digital signal for analysis
Aqueous particle solutions can be directly interfaced with the SPARTA® system for easy and rapid analysis without additional sample preparation.
Multiple solutions can be lined up for sequenced analysis. Other dedicated sample interfacing options are available tailored to specialist samples
We have published the core concepts behind SPARTA® in the high-impact journal Nature Communications open-access available on the link here
