The SarissaProbe-ATP has been designed for the detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Shortly after its release will follow Sarissaprobe-ADO (for adenosine), Sarissaprobe-INO (for inosine) and Sarissaprobe-ACH (for acetylcholine).
These devices are focused into the research neurophysiology sector and have been designed as a suite of products for purine researchers in academic and clinical research laboratories.
With a needle-shaped electrode construction, the easy to use electrodes are suitable for in vitro and in vivo procedures.
They have a shelf-life (dry) of around four months at 4C, are re-useable, have a linear range of 0.5uM to 50uM and a response time of typically 10-90% rise time in ten seconds.
Crucial to the highly differentiated technology is the process, whereby an active enzyme-based layer is deposited onto the surface of the sensor.
In the case of the ATP sensor (Sarissaprobe-ATP) the enzyme matrix includes glycerol kinase and glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase, deposited onto the surface of a 2mm long Pt/Ir needle.
See Nature 436, 108-111 (7 July 2005) for a recent study using the ATP sensor.
