ELISA at the bench at IMMB

ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a laboratory test that uses antibodies to measure a specific protein, hormone or antibody in a sample. The workshop covered an ELISA demonstration, data analysis and troubleshooting, with En. Yusri of UiTM as facilitator. In an ELISA, data analysis turns the colour readings from the plate into amounts, using a standard curve made from samples of known concentration. Participants worked at the laboratory benches in small groups, and the trainer took them through the steps on the whiteboard. Certificates were issued to 16 participants. The photos show participants in gloves at the long benches, and the whole group with the Prima Nexus team at the end of the day.

Clinical trials, and Prima Nexus's part

On 27 August, Prima Nexus ran an online webinar on clinical trials, the studies that test new treatments in people. Prima Nexus organised the IMMB workshop with the institute, and ran the webinar online. The IMMB workshop was one of several hands-on ELISA workshops Prima Nexus organised or co-organised at universities in 2024, including at MAHSA University and UPM. More photos from Sungai Buloh are on the event page. Its real-time PCR webinars of the same year have a story of their own. Clinical trial support is one of Prima Nexus's research platforms, and its immunoassay services are on the ELISA and Luminex page.
