Welcome!

SensoPath Technologies, Inc. is a small company based in Bozeman, Montana in the heart of the Intermountain West, close to the Montana State University campus.

Our Primary Goal: Supply effective, efficient and novel bioactive surfaces for a variety of biosensor applications, detector formats and diagnostic techniques

SensoPath Technologies, Inc. (SPT) is a Materials Research and Development company. Our core technology involves the design and synthesis of our patented dendrimer molecules (Patent # 7,138,121) used to produce remarkably stable self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) that are resistant to nonspecific binding in gold-based biosensors. We also make monothiol tethers, custom tethers and many types of heterobifunctional coupling agents (linkers) specifically designed for a gold-based sensor surface.

Coming Soon: Silane analogs of our monothiols for quartz or glass surfaces.

  • Design and fabrication of functionalized self-assembled monolayers and tethers for many types of applications.
  • SensoPath linkers enhance sensitivity, selectivity, specificity, stability, and resistance to nonspecific binding, reliability and reproducibility.
Some Current Applications
  • Surface Plasmon Resonance and SPR Imaging
  • Quartz Crystal Microbalance Devices
  • Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
  • Atomic Force Microscopy
  • Electrochemical Biosensors
  • Gold Nanoparticles
  • Anti-Fouling Surfaces

SensoPath also designs and synthesizes photostable one-and two-photon fluorescent dyes, including several proprietary Fluorophores for incorporation into polystyrene microspheres and and coupling to macromolecules. SensoPath one-and two-photon dyes, dye-tagged polystyrene beads and dye-tagged dextrans are available for special order. Click on the Fluorophores button to see our catalog.

NEW: See many new tether, linker and surface chemistry products in the Tethers section. NEW: We now carry a line of aldehyde extension products including an aldehyde extension reagent, and special order substituted 5-phenylpentadienals and substituted cinnamaldehydes in the Aldehydes section.

SensoPath products enhance sensitivity, selectivity, specificity and reliability

Proprietary and patented tethers and Fluorophores specifically developed for these purposes are described in this catalog.

Antibodies, peptides, enzymes, carbohydrate-terminated dendrimers, DNA or RNA aptamers that will recognize specific ligands can be immobilized on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) consisting of a tether molecule specifically designed for a gold-based sensor surface. Functional groups for their types of surfaces can be custom designed and synthesized to order.

Our tethers are easy to use, allowing the investigator to easily functionalize slides for, among others, the Reichert, Inc. (DePew, NY) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) system, Stanford Research Systems QCM, atomic force microscopy tips, GWC Technologies multiplexed SPR system and many other types of research platforms, as well as gold Nanoparticles.

SERVICES
Prepared slides for specific applications are available on request.

Custom design is available, either to your specifications or in consultation with our synthetic chemists and biochemists

Virtually any surface modification can be provided and any chain length accommodated.

Orthopyridinium disulfide (OPSS) can be substituted for thiol, thiols can be protected with benzyl or acetyl groups, or a cleavable disulfide-alkane can be added to the tethers shown in our product listing.

Association with glass can be accomplished by substituting a triethoxysilane terminus for the thiol. Custom design is our specialty.
