Redbud Labs products

Automating sample prep has never been this easy; Too many samples to run by hand. Samples too precious to leave to chance. Tests too sensitive to cut corners. We combined breakthrough microfluidics and smart engineering to create NAxtract, the simplest, most robust automation platform ever.

Redbud Labs’s MXR microfluidic chip is the world’s fastest, most adaptable cartridge-ready™ microfluidic mixing component. MXR (“mixer”) enables effective, controlled fluid mixing at low volume levels, less than about 200 μL. MXR is a modular, fully assembled microfluidic chip that simply clicks into place in a testing cartridge. MXR effectively overcomes limitations due to poor mixing and is useful in a variety of applications, from biomarker discovery to point-of-care diagnostics.

Redbud Labs’s STR is the only cartridge-ready™ sample prep solution for microfluidic cartridges. STR (“sorter”) is a solid-phase affinity sorter that enables immuno-capture of analytes from complex samples such as whole blood. It supports sample volumes from microliters to milliliters and target sizes from nanometers to microns. STR streamlines sample prep in cartridge-based assays, enabling superior performance in applications across the life sciences industry.

Redbud Posts are high aspect ratio, flexible, microposts incorporated into a silicone that move in response to magnetic fields. They move in a wide variety of patterns, depending on the specific time-varying magnetic field to which they are exposed.

There’s a wave of new sample-to-answer systems around the corner. Whether you’re in diagnostics, bioprocessing, or life science instrumentation, the future is an ever-expanding menu of new tests. From discovery to diagnostic, a cartridge-ready component is one deemed essential for use throughout the full lifecycle of a cartridge-based assay and invaluable to a system’s design.
