Sword Diagnostics is pleased to announce the launch of its new
96-well plate reader for highly sensitive immunoassays. Sword has
combined a proprietary ELISA substrate with Raman spectroscopy
to dramatically increase the performance of immunoassays for diagnostics,
research and drug discovery. The components include the new plate
reader as well as reagent kits that may be incorporated into immunoassays
utilizing horse-radish peroxidase (HRP).
This novel new technology provides:
• Enhanced Sensitivity
– Improved Analytical Limit of Detection (LOD)
–
Improved Marker Detectability
• Dose Response Curves shift toward lower analyte concentrations
– Improved Sample Distinction
•
Increased Sample / Negative Ratios
• Integrates easily into
existing assays
• Extended dynamic range
• Reduced sample sizes
 Instrument
The reader is a custom, state-of-the-art Raman spectrometer with
a small 22” x 20” footprint. It is operated via an
external PC, and is designed for rapid and accurate measurements
in 96-well microtiter plates. Read times are approximately six
minutes per plate. All data acquisition and data management are
automatic. Most brands of commercially available microtiter plates
are compatible with this system.
Reagent Kits
The activation of the Sword Raman substrate is catalyzed by HRP in
a sensitive and highly quantitative manner. This allows the Raman
detection reagent to be easily integrated into existing assays that
utilize HRP or custom assays. Detection Reagent Kits include Raman
substrates, buffer, and stop solution. Custom developed kits and
assays are available upon request.

R&D System's IL-2
ELISA was run with TMB vs the Sword detection system.
The assay
was not optimized for the Sword reagents. Sword showed a 13X
improvement in limit of detection. |
