Rapid Automation and Analysis of a Competitive ELISA Kit with Synthace
Key findings
....
-
Rapid adaptation of an automated sandwich ELISA protocol to a competitive format in 15 min using our Synthace software
. -
Synthace integrated three independent devices into a single automated workcell and provided instant data analysis and visualization, leading to immediate insights
. -
Low variability between technical replicates - average values for standards and samples from Synthace-automated liquid handling were 6.0% and 3.9%, respectively
. -
Excellent quantification efficiency with all samples made from Synthace-driven automation lying within the 80-120% percentage recovery range
Executive summary
....
In this study, we demonstrate the rapid and flexible automation of a kit-based competitive ELISA protocol, from design through execution to data analysis, using our software Synthace. This work expands on our sandwich ELISA application note: here we rapidly adapted the previously-described sandwich ELISA protocol to the competitive ELISA format in only 15 minutes.
.
Synthace orchestrated the execution of this protocol across three integrated devices (Hamilton® Microlab® STAR™ liquid handler, BioTek® 405™ TS plate washer, BMG LABTECH CLARIOstar® plate reader) and performed instant data analysis and visualization, leading to immediate insights.
.
Synthace-driven automation achieved low variability results and excellent quantification accuracy compared to manual execution, thereby delivering a rapid, fully-digitalized, and flexible solution for maximizing the efficiency of competitive ELISAs and boosting overall productivity of scientific teams.
