Frequently Asked Questions

Proprietary microfluidic design provides a large surface-to-volume ratio for rapid capture of analytes with reduced incubation time and increased sensitivity, resulting in:

Up to 80% less sample size and reagent consumption (20 µL vs. 100 µL)

Significantly simplified assay steps and shorter assay time (see detailed comparison below):

*Incubation times of a traditional well plate are based on IL-6 protocol of R&D systems (https://www.rndsystems.com/products/human-il-6-duoset-elisa_dy206).

Better sensitivity and dynamic range (see the chart below):
