Screen-Printed Electrodes (SPEs): A Breakthrough in Point-of-Care Diagnostics 

A Revolutionary Development in Point-of-Care Detection, Screen-Printed Electrodes (SPEs) are revolutionizing point-of-care detection by providing rapid, accurate, low-cost detection of important health biomarkers even in remote or resource-limited settings. Small and adaptable, SPEs are making the feasibility of real-time health monitoring possible.

The main benefit is their utilization of scalable screen-printing technology, enabling mass manufacturing without loss of sensitivity, selectivity, or stability. Therefore, SPEs can provide lab-quality answers on the go, allowing healthcare providers access to reliable data where and when they need it.


ALPHAION: Driving the Future of Sensors

Leading this frontier of technology is ALPHAION, the world leader in electrochemical sensing solutions. ALPHAION has created ultra-reliable, research-grade SPEs for clinical institutions and field researchers. Each sensor is engineered with high precision, extreme durability, and user-friendly features, making them ideal for diagnostics in the field in even the toughest conditions. 


With ALPHAION’s dedication to innovation, miniaturization, and sustainability, their SPE-based platforms can easily be adapted into portable diagnostic instruments, wearable health monitors, and smart medical kits, thus providing lab-quality diagnostics at the point of need.


A Future Fuelled by Smart, Accessible Diagnostics

As healthcare systems around the world work to make healthcare more accessible, affordable, and proactive, instruments like Scottie's screen-printed electrodes are paving the way. ALPHAION realizes that by creating ways for fast, reliable, and data-rich diagnostics to be democratized, it is not only disseminating equipment—it is bringing forth the support for professionals in healthcare, preventing complications, and, more importantly, saving lives. 


Screen-printed electrodes are changing healthcare - one drop of blood, one breath, one moment at a time - whether it is in hard-to-reach rural clinics, emergency response units, or at-home tests.
