Product news

Berthold Detection Systems are to showcase a range of luminometers and automation solutions including the brand-new Sirius L Tube Luminometer. A range of assay automation solutions will also be presented, ranging from the ELISA 5-in-1 workstation and microplate automation solutions. For more details visit hall 3, booth E05.

ELISA 5-in-1 Workstation:
The ELISA 5-in-1 Workstation combines the five basic functions to process ELISA assays in 96-well microplate format. The instrument presents true walk-away functionality, once the microplate has been placed into the loading/unloading position. The samples are fully processed according to the individual kit instructions. The results are presented by powerful data reduction software.

More Microplate Automation Solutions:
Titertek Instruments Inc. of Huntsville AL, USA became an affiliate of Berthold Detection Systems recently. Titertek's proven Zoom and MAP platforms provide reliable start-to-finish automation of many liquid handling processes in 96 well and 384 well formats. They serve as ideal tools for the processing of key applications in clinical diagnostics, genomics, proteomics, screening tests and bulk reagent distribution.

ELISAEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), also known as enzyme immunoassays (EIA), are used for the detection and quantification of proteins, peptides and antibodies in a sample. ELISA often comes in kit format, with pre-selected antibody pairs to detect specific proteins or biomarkers of diseases such as diabetes and obesity, or cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Detection is made possible with chemiluminescent, fluorescent or colorimetric substrates and detection instruments such as microplate / ELISA readers. Other kits available include: Enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assays for the quantification of protein-producing cells and chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIA) kits.

The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.

This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms.
