MicroVacuum Ltd. is Hungarian corporation founded in 1987. Our headquarters and laboratory are located in Budapest, Hungary.
MicroVacuum is a leader in the R&D and production of optical grating-coupled waveguide (OWLS) based biosensors and instrumentation. The OWLS technology enables high-sensitivity, real-time, label-free detection of surface adsorption of molecules.
OWLS sensors allow the determination of the affinity and kinetics of a wide variety of molecular interactions in real time, without the need for a molecular tag or label.
MicroVacuum develops, manufactures and sells its OWLS sensors and instrumentation for customers all over the world.
MicroVacuum's label free, real-time, high-sensitivity OWLS biosensors are serving the following industries world-wide:
- Scientific research labs (biochemistry, biomaterial, bioelectronics)
- Food safety
- Pharma / Drug development
- Environmental protection
The main biosensing applications of the OWLS technology are as follows:
- Adsorption of proteins at surfaces
- Ligand / receptor binding (antibody/antigen)
- Immunosensing
- Drug screening
- Protein - lipid bilayer interactions
- Protein - DNA interactions
- Molecular self-assembly & nanoscience
- Analysis of association and dissociation kinetics
- Kinetics of adhesion, growth and spreading of living cells
Commitment to innovation: the profitable
exploitation of new ideas is widely recognized as being one
of the key success factors in gaining competitive advantage
in the global marketplace. Our company has a 15-year of history
of on-going innovation in sensor and instrumentation technology.
