What is VICA™?

VICA stands for Visual Interference Color Assay. At its heart, VICA harnesses the phenomenon of thin-film interference within visible light to make protein interactions observable directly on a surface by eye. This advanced yet elegantly simple approach enables precise protein detection and quantification using just our VICA Lightbox - no specialized equipment required.

With our proprietary test slides, which are crafted to create an optimal test surface to visualize protein interactions, molecules as small as 280 Daltons and as few as 30 femtomoles per square millimeter generate changes in the reflected light and can be observed and quantified almost instantly. These slides work in conjunction with our patented biomolecular interface, VICAlign, a cutting-edge innovation that guarantees proteins are perfectly poised upon the surface, ensuring outstanding sensitivity.

Immediate Label-Free Results

Visualize each protein layer on the surface as you build your assay. No more guessing whether your protein layer has bound, saving you time and money to allow you to iterate and discover faster.

Oriented Binding

Pavonis' VICAlign patented biomolecular technology allows you to orient your proteins on the surface, optimizing the number of capture events per unit area and increasing the sensitivity of your assay.

VICA Brilliance

Not just a tool for today's research, but an enabler for tomorrow's discoveries.

Fraction of the Cost

No need for fancy optical systems. Our VICA Lightbox with our patented technology does all you need, allowing for quantitative detection at a fraction of the cost of any other system out there.

Why VICA™

Use VICA to unlock discovery. Compare VICA with other traditional protein detection systems.
