I want to spend less hands-on time doing the immunoassayYou're in a race to make that next discovery, and Ella can help you get there faster. There's no need to split your time between running assays in the lab and analyzing answers at your desk. Simply add your sample and buffers to the Simple Plex cartridge, put it in Ella and start your run. There's only 10-15 minutes of hands-on assay prep time, and she gives you fully analyzed answers in an hour! |

"With Ella, we can worry less about manpower and time constraints. It’s convenient, quick, and automated—perfect for pediatric studies with limited sample volume."
Dr. Zhong Youjia, Assistant Professor, Department of Paediatrics, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore
"Ella’s sensitive and tractable workflow is enabling us to tackle large datasets not previously possible with standard ELISA kits. It has enabled us to more quickly and efficiently discover novel connections between hepcidin and inflammation in the context of chronic disease."
Samira Lakhal-Littleton, BSc DPhil, Associate Professor of Cell Physiology, University of Oxford
"We needed assays that were not only excellent at conserving our limited sample volumes but would allow us to test a lot of markers quickly and efficiently. The Luminex and Simple Plex assays proved to be the ideal choice in this case, giving us a level of accuracy and reproducibility that we’ve been unable to get with other platforms."
Dr. Melissa Munroe, M.D., Ph.D., Research Associate, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF)
"Simple Plex assays on Ella gave us speed and efficiency so we could complete our assays quickly, and the high quality of the data meant that we could easily see differences between disease state samples and controls. Plus, sample preparation was so simple it reduced chances of errors significantly."
Paulomi Aldo, Research Associate and Reproductive Sciences Core Manager, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, Yale University
"Ella allows for reproducible sample data with minimal sample input. The lower volume usage allows for the expansion of research into novel areas of angiogenesis and inflammation as they pertain to many forms of cancer."
Andrew Nixon Ph.D., M.B.A.,, Associate Professor, Medicine & Director, Duke University
Ella does immunoassays in a microfluidic Simple Plex cartridge. It's like using a pre-kitted immunoassay, except everything's pre-loaded on the cartridge—even the calibration curve! All you need to do is add your sample and buffers and put the cartridge in Ella.
The immunoassay part works like this: sample runs through a microfluidic channel that binds your protein of interest. Next, Ella washes off unbound analyte and adds a detection reagent. Because each channel has three Glass Nano Reactors (GNRs) coated with a capture antibody, you get triplicate answers for each sample. Answers are then generated from the factory-calibrated standard curve that comes with every cartridge. Sound familiar? It's the same immunoassay you're used to, just without the errors that come with traditional assays.
