Развитие пользовательских тестов на платформе ViBE для более чувствительны, воспроизводимы, автоматизированные результаты в сложных матрицах описывается. Картридж универсальный позволяет анализы, чтобы быть легко адаптированы для использования с помощью пользовательских тестов. Такая универсальность позволяет быструю разработку и проверку новых анализов или автоматизированные версии существующих ручных тестов, примером в этом видео.
Custom assays for unique proteins are often limited to time consuming manual detection and quantitation techniques such as ELISA or Western blots due to the complexity of development on alternate platforms. BioScale’s proprietary Acoustic Membrane MicroParticle (AMMP) technology allows sandwich immunoassays to be easily developed for use on the ViBE platform, providing better sensitivity, reproducibility, and automated operation. Provided as an example, this protocol outlines the procedure for developing a custom Chinese Hamster Ovary- Host Cell Protein (CHO-HCP) assay. The general principles outlined here can be followed for the development of a wide variety of immunoassays.
An AMMP assay measures antigen concentration by measuring changes in oscillation frequency caused by the binding of microparticles to the sensor surface to calculate. It consists of four major components: (1) a cartridge that contains a functionalized eight sensor chip (2) antibody labeled magnetic microparticles, (3) hapten tagged antibody that binds to the surface of the functionalized chip (4) samples containing the antigen of interest. BioScale’s biosensor is a resonant device that contains eight individual membranes with separate fluidic paths. The membranes change oscillation frequency in response to mass accumulating on the surface and this frequency change is used to quantitate the amount of added mass.
To facilitate use in a wide variety of immunoassays the sensor is functionalized with an anti-hapten antibody. Assay specific antibodies are modified through the covalent conjugation of a hapten tag to one antibody and biotin to the other. The biotin label is used to bind the antibody to streptavidin coupled magnetic beads which, in combination with the hapten-tagged antibody, are used to capture the analyte in a sandwich. The complex binds to the chip through the anti-hapten/hapten interaction. At the end of each assay run the sensors are cleaned with a dilute acid enabling the sequential analysis of columns from a 96-well plate.
Here, we present the method for developing a custom CHO-HCP AMMP assay for bioprocess development. Developing AMMP assays or modifying existing assays into AMMP assays can provide better performance (reproducibility, sensitivity) in complex samples and reduced operator time. The protocol shows the steps for development and the discussion section reviews representative results. For a more in-depth explanation of assay optimization and customization parameters contact BioScale. This kit offers generic bioprocess development assays such as Residual Protein A, Product titer, and CHO-HCP.
Приведенные примеры демонстрируют AMMP высоко чувствительные количественные результаты в сложных образцов. Этот спектакль, когда поставляется с легкостью и управления форматированием реагентов в системе позволяет для различных приложений. Эти приложения могут быть специфическими для мишени, как в Gadd34 в опухоль, или общие для целого спектра задач, как в клетке-хозяине обнаружения белка и количественное определение в образцах, которые пересекают очистки потока. Низкие платформы ViBE накладных в сочетании с очень гибким AMMP предоставляет мощный инструмент для проведения важных анализов.
