This new cartridge enables Simple Plex users to run 72 samples in an hour with triplicate results. It is powered by R&D Systems® reagents, the expert in immunoassays.
Simple Plex cartridge-based immunoassays have the same specificity of a single-plex ELISA, only with sub-picogram/ml detection limits, and highly sensitive results at lower sample volumes.
Moreover, Simple Plex offers better precision and greater dynamic range at 4-5 logs than traditional ELISAs. While the 16×4 Simple Plex cartridge established the utility of the technology for multi-analyte immunoassay, single-plex users still looked for a high sensitivity ELISA. The new 72×1 cartridge answers that need.
The Simple Plex cartridge format completely eliminates the manual washes which lead to poor data quality and inconsistent results associated with standard plate-based ELISAs. In addition, it reduces assay completion time from 8 hours to 1 hour.
By using the Simple Plex cartridge on the Ella™ instrument, you have the convenience of a fully automated immunoassay. Operation is rapid, requiring only a few minutes to pipette 25 microliters of sample into the cartridge, followed by a quick barcode scan of the cartridge to start the run, and fully analyzed data in an hour.
ProteinSimple’s sister brand R&D Systems’ extensive assay expertise is leveraged with an existing menu of 138 assay targets for Ella and many more in development.
"The Simple Plex platform now answers the need for a single analyte or multi-analyte ELISA with a microfluidics format that is highly sensitive and effortless to run," commented Chuck Kummeth, CEO of Bio-Techne. "We are excited to deliver this new single analyte cartridge to expand the application of the Simple Plex product line."
