Simple Plex Assays for Inflammatory Biomarker Research

See how Simple Plex assays on the Ella platform are used to profile inflammatory biomarkers.

The systemic cytokine and chemokine cascades set off by acute inflammatory responses require a fast, sensitive and standardized immunoassay format to profile accurately. Automated Simple Plex™ assays on Ella™ get you that critical immune reactivity information and inflammation status data by simply adding your sample and buffers to a cartridge and pressing Start.

Simplifying and Expediting Inflammatory Biomarker Research With Ella

 

"Ella is the closest I’ve seen to my goal of one day having a Star Trek-like tricorder. I can take just 25 μL of serum, add it to a cartridge, and in 90 minutes have immune profiling data."

- E. Scott Halstead, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Penn State University College of Medicine

Ella Characterizes Cytokine Release Syndrome Biomarkers In CAR T‑Cell Therapy

Correlating biomarkers with clinical evidence is essential for the safe delivery of CAR T-cell therapies, and, therefore, for the full realization of their therapeutic potential. To do this, fast and accurate evaluation and monitoring of the immune response is necessary. Download this poster to see how researchers at Moffit Cancer Center use Ella to quantitate relevant biomarker levels in the serum of CAR T donors compared with healthy controls.
