Axela Biosensors, Inc. is located in the heart of downtown Toronto, Ontario, allowing immediate access to some of Canada's best academic and health researchers. We utilize the innovative value of the diverse and talented culture of the city to continually enhance the R - D and diagnostic expertise of our company. In the fall of 2006, Axela will launch its flagship dotLab™ product line, which is comprised of the dotLab System and software, and a variety of dotLab Sensor Kits. The core of the product line is our proprietary Diffractive Optics Technology – or dot™ - which combines two proven technologies - the diffraction of light and immobilized capture surfaces - to provide a simple, sensitive, and cost-effective technique for the real-time detection of biomolecular interactions and immunoassays without the use of labels. Axela's technology is based on research techniques initially developed at the University of Toronto.
Axela has strong competencies in diagnostics and life science commercialization, photonics engineering, surface protein attachment, micro-pattern deposition, and biosensor consumable manufacturing. The company is led by a strong team, and is well funded by some of Canada's most reputable venture capital firms. We are an equal opportunity employer, and enjoy a challenging and stimulating workplace environment in a vibrant, urban setting.

Technology:
The dotLab System brings together two mature, well-understood technologies: grating-based light diffraction and immobilized capture surfaces. This combination produces a sensitive and very simple technique for the detection of molecular binding events without the use of fluorescent labels.
Protein-specific capture molecules are immobilized on the dotLab Sensor surface in eight distinct locations, or assay spots. The capture molecules within each spot are not randomly distributed, but are immobilized in a series of parallel lines that produces a specific diffraction pattern when illuminated with a laser. The sensor surface forms the base of a low-volume flow cell. When a flowing stream of sample is introduced into the flow cell, target molecules bind to the assay spots, resulting in an increased diffraction signal. The dotLab System uses the intensity of the diffraction signal to generate real-time binding curves. The illumination and detection beams never pass through the sample, which makes the dotLab System ideal for the detection of proteins in complex biological samples such as serum, plasma, and crude cell lysates.
