ATSPIN is a start-up company focusing at the commercialisation of a new "Intelligent Bio-disc Platform (IBP)" based on an electrical-power enabled lab-on-a-disc (LOAD) microfluidics configuration. ATSPIN has integrated a smart power-coupling scheme to drive embedded electronics within a microfluidic disc device while it is still in spinning state. This scheme has enabled a wide variety of sample processing and signal collection steps anywhere within the disc anytime as desired. ATSPIN has developed several IBPs for the biotech industry to perform low-cost high-throughput bioassay including (i) parallel screening of multiple proteins or nucleic acids using centrifugal force-assisted electrophoretic separation, (ii) microfluidic separation of plasma from blood samples, (iii) cell-based allergy screening, (iv) sample-to-answer DNA screening from blood samples. Knowledge and experience acquired from previous university research projects have been transferred to ATSPIN. The company has joined the INCU-TECH scheme of Hong Kong Science and Technology Park in June 2016 to further commercialise its IBP technology, with a specific aim to serve customers from healthcare, R&D research laboratories and academics. Meanwhile, ATSPIN is also actively engaged in developing other smart laboratory instruments for biomedical customers. One example of such instruments is a temperature-controlled miniaturised cell-culture chamber for real-time imaging of cell activities.
ATSPI是一家專注于將新型“智能生物碟片平台(IBP)＂商業化的創業公司，該平台基於電力驅動下微流控的“芯片實驗室＂(LOAD)。 ATSPIN 己集成了一種智能能量耦合方案將電子饋入旋轉的微流碟片中。該平台可隨時隨地處理樣品并收集信號。ATSPIN已開發出多種低成本高產出的檢測平台，包括: 一、向心力輔助電泳分離的多蛋白質或核酸平行篩選，二、微流分離血漿血液分離， 三、細胞過敏篩查，四、血液“取樣-應答＂式DNA 篩查。我們過往大學科研中所獲的經驗知識已轉移到ATSPIN 。為進一步商業化，公司于2016年6月加入香港科學園INCU-TECH計劃，旨在服務醫療保健行業、實驗室和學術機構。同時ATSPIN還致力於為生物醫學發其他智能儀器，例如一種為活細胞實時成像的小型溫控細胞培養血。
