GRAVI™- Cell: Microfluidics-based ELISA
GRAVI™- Cell is a USB powered, microfluidics-based immunoassay device for running bead-protocols with standard immunology reagents. The instrument works with GRAVI™- Chip, i.e. the microchannel-harboring biosensors, for performing all: from sample preparation through signal detection in, and readout of 8 parallel channels. The desktop-sized GRAVI™- Cell is designed for manual operation, to generate results wherever needed and most convenient. Given micro-chip channel regeneration convenience, immunoassays are processed by series, with tests performed in record times, and with the flexibility for running most any available ELISA or affinity assay.
Key benefits
-
Open & cost-efficient: The system runs with conventional reagents, as provided in most any commercially available kit; reagent (including bead) consumption is reduced to a minimum
-
Ultra-fast and reliable: Rather than hours, the total assay duration is < 10 minutes (chip regeneration time included), for the yield of quantitative results over a broad dynamic range
-
Robust & convenient: With fluidics solely driven by natural forces, there are no serviceable pumps, tubes nor valves. Given desktop dimensions and USB powering, the instrument is placed wherever truly needed
-
Flexible: New or commercially available tests are easily adapted; various assays can be run in parallel and in different matrixes (e.g. urine, serum, plasma, amniotic fluid, etc)
