Platypus Technologies, LLC develops innovative products for the analytical and life sciences based upon the application of nanotechnology. Utilizing recent advances in nanoscale and material science, the company provides advanced tools for use in proteomics, cell-based studies, and environmental monitoring.

Platypus Technologies’ products include the ORIS™ Cell Migration Assay and the ORIS™ Cell Invasion Assay. These assays use an industry standard, 96-well microplate populated with unique Oris™ Cell Seeding Stoppers in each well. These patent pending, stoppers allow researchers to dispense cells into each well and create an exclusion zone with the tip of the stopper. After the cells adhere to the well surface, the stoppers are removed creating a 2 mm diameter circle into which the cells can then migrate. Researchers can then take real time photos (digital image) of the cells migrating into this central detection zone and quantify the results using microplate readers all in the same well.

Platypus Technologies also offers gold-coated glass slides/mica/silicon wafers/coverslips. These products can be used in biosensor applications such as cell culture, microarrays, surface plasmon reflectometry and scanning probe microscopy.
