Ella: Your Next Generation ELISA

Ella's combination of performance and automated ELISA workflow brings your immunoassays to the next level. In less than 90 minutes you get highly reproducible validated assay data and consistent biomarker detection with no manual steps. The assay performance behind that data includes sub-picogram level sensitivity, 4+ logs of dynamic range and precision that rivals the best laboratory automation. All in a compact package that doesn't break your budget and fits on your benchtop.

An Automated Benchtop ELISA Platform

See how Simple Plex eliminates all the challenges of traditional ELISAs:
  • Save time with automated assays run on Ella with built in standard curves and results in less than 90 minutes
  • Get quantitative, reproducible data using just 25 µL of sample with up to 5 logs of dynamic range
  • Eliminate cross-reactivity by detecting each analyte in separate parallel channels

"We needed assays that were not only excellent at conserving our limited sample volumes but would allow us to test a lot of markers quickly and efficiently. The Luminex and Simple Plex assays proved to be the ideal choice in this case, giving us a level of accuracy and reproducibility that we’ve been unable to get with other platforms."

Dr. Melissa Munroe, M.D., Ph.D., Research Associate, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF)

"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, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, Yale University

"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

"Ella is the closest I’ve seen to my goal of one day having a Star Trek-like tricorder. I can take just 25 μL of serum, add it to a cartridge, and in 90 minutes have immune profiling data."

E. Scott Halstead, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Penn State University College of Medicine

More Information About Ella Automated Immunoassay System

Simple Plex Technology

Ella does immunoassays in a microfluidic Simple Plex cartridge. It's like using a pre-kitted immunoassay, except everything's pre-loaded on the cartridge—even the calibration curve! All you need to do is add your sample and buffers and put the cartridge in Ella.

The immunoassay part works like this: sample runs through a microfluidic channel that binds your protein of interest. Next, Ella washes off unbound analyte and adds a detection reagent. Because each channel has three Glass Nano Reactors (GNRs) coated with a capture antibody, you get triplicate answers for each sample. Answers are then generated from the factory-calibrated standard curve that comes with every cartridge. Sound familiar? It's the same immunoassay you're used to, just without the errors that come with traditional assays.
