In this work we introduce a novel microfluidic enzyme linked immunoassays (ELISA) microplate as the next generation assay platform for unparalleled assay performances. A combination of microfluidic technology with standard SBS-configured 96-well microplate architecture, in the form of microfluidic microplate technology, allows for the improvement of ELISA workflows, conservation of samples and reagents, improved reaction kinetics, and the ability to improve the sensitivity of the assay by multiple analyte loading. This paper presents the design and characterization of the microfluidic microplate, and its application in ELISA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
