Extended sensitivity of microfluidic immunoassays

Gyros Protein Technologies
9 Apr 2024

The use of ligand-binding assays in biotherapeutic development is a mainstay in biopharma companies. Gyrolab Bioaffy™ CDs from Gyros Protein Technologies cover a wide range of assay formats and concentrations and differ primarily in the sample volume processed, which determines the sensitivity of the assay. The Gyrolab Bioaffy™ 4000 CD has been introduced to extend the sensitivity of the Gyrolab Bioaffy CD portfolio by increasing the sample volume in the CD to 4000 nL. Explore the poster to find out how PK and biomarker assay results support this extended sensitivity. Gyros details how using the Bioaffy 4000 CD increased LLoQ of Actemra® and Keytruda® PK assays from 60 ng/mL to 20 ng/mL and 18 to 6 ng/mL, respectively, demonstrating a three-fold increase.

This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :ImmunoassayImmunoassays are laboratory tests that utilize antibody-antigen interactions to detect specific substances. They are widely used in diagnostics for detecting diseases, drug testing, and environmental monitoring. These assays offer rapid, sensitive, and precise detection of biomarkers, making them invaluable in clinical and research labs. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to compare immunoassay systems, read user reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.analyticaAnalytica is a leading international trade fair for laboratory technology, analysis, and biotechnology, showcasing innovations and solutions in the scientific community. Stay updated with the latest trends and products in the industry. BiotherapeuticsBiotherapeutics are proteins and other compounds (such as nucleic acids) produced by living organisms that have uses as therapeutics or in <i>in vivo</i> diagnostics. The most well-known example of a biotherapeutic product, and the first to be approved for therapeutic use, was recombinant human insulin.Biomarker DiscoveryClinical biomarkers refer to substances related to known medical conditions that can be accurately measured <i>in vitro</i>. Biomarkers can be used to diagnose presence of a disease and indicate disease severity. The discovery of new biomarkers is incredibly valuable in the field of diagnostics.
