Simoa® immunoassay combines single molecule analysis with a digital ELISA readout. As official Quanterix partner organization, Chimera Biotec has the unparalleled expertise in ultra sensitive analytics to make the most out of Simoa technology.

We understand the high demands of our customer. As one of the few, we integrated sample cooling into our Simoa® HD-1-Analyzer to balance differences between individual samples within an analytical run, as well as between runs and ultimately over the course of long-term study support. This also ensures the stability of your temperature sensitive samples.

We offer Simoa® Quanterix immunoassay services.

Chimera Biotec offers full Simoa® testing service for all your bioanalytical needs. We gladly assist you with biomarker support based on the Simoa® biomarker kit menu, the transfer of in-house-developed assays or custom assay development service.

 


 

Simoa® Technology

 

Simoa® Assays are ideal for single- and multiplex detection. Target-specific antibodies are coupled to paramagnetic particles.

Analytes are captured in semi-homogenous solution and form an immunocomplex with detection antibodies, capable of generating fluorescent product.

At low concentrations, each bead-complex will contain 1 or 0 protein and is trapped into one of 200,000 femtoliter sized microcavities on the array.

The digital return signal (on/off) offers enhanced sensitivity over conventional Multiplex ELISA assays.

 

 

 

The single molecule array (Simoa) technology from Quanterix combines single molecule analysis with a digital ELISA readout. Analytes are captured in semi-homogenous solution by antibody coated magnetic beads. Beads are trapped in femtoliter sized microcavities and a digital signal (on/off) provides enhanced sensitivity over conventional ELISA. An official Quanterix partner organization, Chimera Biotec has the unparalleled expertise in ultra sensitive analytics to make the most out of Simoa technology. Utilizing sample cooling within the Simoa HD-1 analyzer instrument, Chimera takes the stability of your valuable sample material and fundamentals of ultra sensitive immunoassays very seriously.

 

 

Ultra sensitive in 4 steps

Step 1: Paramagnetic particles are covered with
              target-specific antibodies

Step 2: Analytes are captured by detection antibodies,
              capable of generating fluorescent product

Step 3: Beads are trapped in one of 200,000 femtoliter
              sized microcavities on the array.
              At low concentrations, each bead-complex will
              contain 1 or 0 protein.

Step 4: Digital return signal "on" or "off"
