🫧 Automating ELISA: From Pipetting to Washing

ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is a crucial technique in life sciences and diagnostic research. However, its repetitive pipetting and washing steps make it labor-intensive and challenging to maintain consistency.

With ABLE Labs' liquid handler, you can fully automate key ELISA processes, including sample handling, washing, substrate reaction, and stopping, maximizing efficiency and reproducibility.

Hands-on Time ZERO with ABLE Labs SUITABLE

① Automated Plate Coating

• Precisely dispenses antibodies (or antigens) onto a 96-well plate at an accurate concentration
• Processes multiple samples simultaneously with an independent 8-span pipette
• Reduces human errors and ensures experiment consistency

② Automated Washing

• Removes unbound proteins using PBS-T or other wash buffers
• Ensures uniform washing conditions without manual shaking
• Executes repeated wash cycles (3–5 times) automatically, minimizing experimental errors

③ Automated Sample Addition

• Accurately dispenses serum or plasma samples into wells
• Ensures uniform processing of high-concentration samples, reducing coefficient of variation (CV)

④ Automated Antibody & Enzyme Dispensing

• Precisely dispenses detection antibodies and enzyme conjugates (e.g., HRP, ALP)
• Provides more consistent reaction conditions compared to manual pipetting

⑤ Automated Substrate & Stop Solution Addition

• Dispenses substrate (e.g., TMB) and stop solution at precise timings
• Minimizes reaction time variation between wells, enhancing data accuracy

⑥ Pre-Analysis Preparation

• Prepares samples for optical density (OD) analysis after dispensing and washing
• Compatible with robotic platforms and LIMS integration for seamless workflow
