Alira Infrared Biosensing Details
Alira Infrared Biosensing provides highly sensitive, noninvasive sensors to measure a multitude of important biomarkers, specifically glucose. Our first prototype was developed at Princeton University to detect glucose in the dermis layer of the skin using a mid-infrared laser source. Without a means to measure glucose accurately and frequently, treatment for the hundreds of millions of people suffering from diabetes can be a dangerous guessing game. Our product provides a noninvasive, pain-free, continuous alternative to the painful finger pricks most glucometers require. We have further expanded our reach and prototyped sensors to measure glucose in other biofluids, as well as during food production. Our unique design features an integrating sphere to collect scattered light from turbid media, this adaptation allows us to detect biomarkers in situations not previously thought possible. This adaptable and versatile sensor is easily customizable to meet the demands of all of our customers.
