Reaping the benefits of immunoassay automation

The advancement of CGT is driven by process improvements and technological innovations resulting in faster R&D, improved manufacturability, and more rigorous quality control. New automated platforms, such as the Ella™ platform, provide improved assay sensitivity and reproducibility while addressing issues of workflow and ease of use. CGT developers are leveraging these new automated immunoassay solutions to quickly and reliably quantitate viral vectors, characterize cultured immune cells, and investigate immune response [1].

Immunoassay platforms are valuable as they generate high quality data for chemistry, manufacturing, and control (CMC) and final product manufacturing. Key aspects to consider when choosing a platform include automation, scalability, method transferability and sample volume [1]. To deliver reliable results, it is important to use a high-quality platform. Automated immunoassay platforms from ProteinSimple, such as the Ella™ platform, can eliminate the hands-on steps that come with traditional immunoassays. By this, it reduces human error and increases result collection time [1,4].
