An ultra fast measurement
thanks to 4 decisive advantages

Videodrop films in real time biological nanoparticles between 80 nm & 500 nm and provides a microscopic view up to 10µm in a drop. The compact device, assisted by a dedicated software, allows the manipulation to be very easy to perform. No labeling is necessary on the analyzed sample. It is possible to work on unpurified solutions and on little volumes (5µL) with a concentration range of 10^8 to 10^10 particles/ml.

Technology

Based on the principles of interferometry, the Videodrop allows to « see » biological nanoparticles in the range of 80-500 nm.

The observation is done in 3 steps.

1
The device

A solution of 5 to 10µL containing nanoparticles is placed on a microwell lighted by a simple LED, while an optic system, coupled to a camera, films their movements.

2
The video

The resulting movie shows in real time the displacement of the nanoparticles.
A tracking algorithm allows to follow the trajectory of the observed objects.

Each black/white point is corresponding to the interferometric signal of a nanoparticle.

3
The Analysis

Thanks to its dedicated software, the calculation of speeds and distances of the trajectories enables to define the type, the size, and the number of observed elements.
The result is displayed on the user’s interface almost instantly.

ABOUT Myriade

Myriade is a French company created in 2017 that develops an innovative nanoscale imaging technology.

Myriade was born from the partnership between Quattrocento (Company builder, specialized in equipments for life sciences), Paris Sciences et Lettres, and the scientific team.

Based on the works of the Langevin Institute, a French academic laboratory specialized in optical and ultrasonic technologies for life sciences, the technology Videodrop relies on a single-arm interferometric technique.

It makes it possible to visualize without labeling living nanoparticles such as viruses, phages, or extracellular vesicles.

The process was developed by Professor Claude Boccara at the request of the Professor Martine Boccara, specialist in virology, who was looking for a quick method to list viruses present in seawater samples collected during the Tara Oceans expedition in 2013.

*The technology is protected by a family of patents.

TARA OCEANS

The aim of the Tara Oceans expedition was to take stock of marine plankton ecosystems (from viruses to fish larvae) in order to understand their functioning, but also to anticipate their relationship with climatic changes.
It sailed for 6 months and traveled 25 000 km to complete its mission. And on May 22, 2015, the prestigious journal Science was publishing the first five major scientific results of the expedition. Since then, hundreds of researchers from prestigious institutions analyze the collected samples and multiply the discoveries.

The boat Tara Oceans left Lorient on May 19, 2013, to come back on December 6 of the same year after having traveled 25 000 km.
