The assays allow scientists to measure neutralizing antibodies quickly and efficiently against wild-type and significant variants of SARS-CoV-2 virus. Scientists developing vaccines and therapeutics can determine the efficacy of their product from development through all the clinical phases. Epidemiologists can perform seroprevalence studies to better understand the longevity of the neutralizing antibody response from infection or vaccination. Compared to using traditional cell-based assays and ELISA tests, researchers can increase their throughput when using the multiplex Bio-Plex Pro Assays.
The assays are offered in an 11-plex complete all-in-one kit format that consists of the wild-type RBD and S1 and 9 variant antigens, as well as customizable singleplex assays, 2-plex Delta variant coupled beads, and a custom Assay Developer Kit to create assays to any new SARS-CoV-2 variant - such as Omicron - for maximum flexibility.
“As variants of interest and concern become the predominant forms of SARS-CoV-2 infecting populations, it’s critical ...
