Affinity Biosensors

Affinity Biosensors is a United States-based company located in Santa Barbara, California. The company is small, with 2 employees. Affinity Biosensors specializes in developing and providing the LifeScale AST system, a rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing solution. This system utilizes mass sensing technology to determine the susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria to various antibiotics directly from positive blood culture bottles. The system offers same-day reporting, enabling faster and more efficient treatment decisions. A key differentiator of the LifeScale AST system is its patented microfluidic sensor, which measures the mass of individual microbes at the femtogram level. This technology allows for rapid and precise counts and mass measurements of microbes, even at low sample volumes and concentrations. The touchscreen-driven workflow minimizes hands-on time for technologists, streamlining the testing process. Affinity Biosensors can be contacted through their website, lifescaleinstruments.com.
