Sars Zero: Automated bead based ELISA for SARS-CoV-2

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a half a century old technology for detecting of target molecules in a solution by capturing them on a plate. The method remained practically unchanged, even though it has labor-intensive preparation steps and a long running time. Industries and large medical institutions are mostly using expensive and large chemistry analyzer machines, which may not be suitable for academic settings. We are developing accessible, fast, automated, high throughput, “press and walk away” solutions based on well-known Dynabeads™ technology and the KingFisher Sample Purification Systems for research market. The first products in line are aimed at detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in serum and plasma.
