Accelerate Discovery with Rapid Development and Reproducible Results
Fast and Efficient
Fast and Efficient
- Reduce manual steps by up to 80%.
- Save time and maximize data with preloaded standard curves.
- Get validated assay data in less than 90 minutes.
“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, Yale University
Highly Reproducible
Highly Reproducible
- Less than 7% variability across assay lots.
- Reduce human error and variability with hand-free automation.
- Get consistent, reproducible answers across multiple users and sites.
“A major advantage of Ella is that it’s very easy to use with virtually no maintenance, and it’s really fast. Simply dilute your sample and you’re ready to go—without the need for manual preparations that can take time and add user variability.”
— Dr. Jesús F Bermejo-Martín, Principal Investigator, Hospital Universitario Río Hortega de Valladolid
Accurate and Reliable
Accurate and Reliable
- Generate triplicate data with only 25 µL of sample volume.
- Eliminate cross-reactivity by detecting each analyte in separate parallel channels.
- Extensive validation using FDA guidelines.
"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
