Microarray
Microarray technology represents the evolution of the E.L.I.S.A. method.
For analyzing adverse food reactions, this method was developed to improve the determination of immunoglobulin G-reactive antibodies to specific food antigens, combining the reliability of an E.L.I.S.A. test with the sensitivity of microarray technology.
Why choose this method?
-
high number of antigens that can be tested simultaneously
-
reduced use of reagents
-
reduced volume of blood sample required
The production is completely automated and the antigens are fixed to nitrocellulose supports attached to a slide. At the end of the analysis, the slide is processed using a very high resolution scanner for data processing. This greatly increases the sensitivity and quality of the analytical data.
The reliability of the result is confirmed by comparison with a negative control, a positive control and a calibration curve for each individual analysis.
