Start with your samples

Every good result starts with three answers about your samples.

Which species, which sample type, and how many. These decide the kit, the platform and how many plates you need.

Species

Human, mouse and rat samples. Another species? Tell us and we check the kit.

Sample type

Blood (plasma)SerumSalivaTissueSecretory supernatant

Number of samples

Up to 34 per ELISA plate (duplicates) or 27 per multiplex plate (triplicates). See the plate

Storage before sending

Single-use aliquots, frozen at -80°C, no freeze-thaw. A preparation guide comes with your quote.

The 96-well plate

See exactly where each of your samples goes.

Pick a platform and enter your sample count. Every well is labelled: standards, blanks, quality checks and your samples, one by one.

ELISA plate layout, duplicatesPlate 1 of 1

What each well means

Std: standard curve (known amounts) Blank: no sample, sets the zero QC: high, mid and low checks Opt: dilution tests (neat, 2x, 5x, 10x) S1, S2...: your samples Empty: space for more samples

Need an ELISA service? Yes, we have it.

Single-target ELISA for 1 or 2 biomarkers, with standards, QC and dilution tests on every plate. Need more targets? We run multiplex too.

Choose your platform

ELISA or multiplex: when and why.

Simple rule: 1 to 2 targets, choose ELISA. 3 or more targets, or very little sample, choose multiplex. Still unsure? We decide it with you in the free consultation.

Choose ELISA when

  • You measure 1 or 2 biomarkers
  • You are validating a single marker
  • You have many samples but one target
  • You have sample volume to spare

Duplicates, up to 34 samples on the first plate

Choose multiplex when

  • You measure 3 or more biomarkers
  • Your sample is precious or low in volume
  • You want a panel, such as cytokines, from the same sample
  • You want to save plates, time and sample

Luminex® xMAP®, triplicates, up to 27 samples per plate

Example, 9 targets: IL-6, TNF-α, IL-8, MCP-1, IFN-γ, IL-10, BDNF, GDNF, TGF-β

How we do the service

We collect. We run. We report.

1. We collect from your lab

Klang Valley: we pick up at an agreed time. Outside the Klang Valley: we arrange the courier and the consignment note. Packing supplies on request, one week ahead.

2. We run it in our lab

Your samples go on the plate as shown above, with standards, blanks and controls. Calibration and optimisation included.

3. We send the full report

Your results explained, with an after-service consultation to walk you through them.

What you get in your report

  1. Standard curve with fit and R²
  2. Concentration of every target in every sample (pg/mL)
