ISDI were approached by RSP Systems to undertake a custom design for a near-infrared (NIR) sensor for their Touch Glucose Monitoring™ products. This sensor, initially targeted for a small desktop system, will be used in a smartwatch-style device for non-invasive blood analysis based on Raman spectroscopy, eliminating the need to take frequent blood readings via finger-prick tests or patches.

Read MoreISDI will be exhibiting at VISION 2024 8-10 October in Stuttgart. Vision is a market-leading tradeshow for machine vision. Exhibitors will be showcasing key technologies for automated processes in manufacturing, providing quality assurance and relating to Industry 4.0. ISDI will be presenting their sensors, detectors and custom design services for machine vision.
Read MoreAs we have recently passed our ISO9001 Surveillance Audit – it seems like a good moment to recognise and celebrate our Quality Team. We acknowledge that all staff are expected to contribute and participate in our ISO Quality System through regular audits and review – but it is important to acknowledge the leadership and guidance that Audrey Looi (Quality Manager) and Moresche Bartley (Quality Engineer) provide, to keep us on track for building a top-quality product and to keep our certifications in place.

Read MoreISDI is delighted to announce that His Majesty King Charles III, has approved the Prime Minister’s recommendation that ISDI should receive a King’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category this year. ISDI is one of 252 organisations nationally to be chosen for a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise.
Read MoreThe IS1510 CMOS image sensor has been used to design the Spectrum Logic CL1510 1:1 Western Blot Imager - a novel scanner for faster, more accurate results.
Western blotting (also known as immunoblotting) is an established biochemical procedure that identifies particular proteins in complex samples and has applications from straight-forward research to the analysis and diagnosis of infectious diseases. Western blotting can be utilised to decide molecular weight, amount and post-translational adjustments of proteins and can subsequently be an effective device to screen changes in proteins, including expression and modifications.
Read MoreRaman spectroscopy, which is now a vital tool in life sciences and materials analysis, it was an insight by a scientist who spent his entire professional life in his home country India. Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman had been investigating how light interacts with materials at the molecular level and hypothesised that light could be scattered by materials in such a way that the properties of the light are changed.
Read MoreLarge area CMOS image sensor design: ISDI uses 2D stitching to create image sensors that can be almost as large as the largest rectangle that fits inside the diameter of the silicon wafer. Using stitching our image sensors can be larger than the maximum size a photo-lithography system in a fab can produce (typically around 25 mm2 for a 200 mm wafer fab).
