- Wide dynamic range reduces sample dilutions while maintaining sensitivity.
- Less hands-on time with built-in standard curves.
- Easier sample prep with simplified pretreatment.
Rapid Endonuclease Quantification
The Simple Plex Endonuclease assay is a selective and sensitive method for detecting residual endonuclease impurities in bioprocess samples. Specificity testing has demonstrated that this assay detects both Benzonase® and Denarase®.
Simple Plex HCP Assays with Cygnus Technologies
To bring you the best quality immunoassays, we've partnered with the industry leader in bioprocess impurity testing. Cygnus Technologies provides the highest level of validation and characterization of the antibodies that go into their assays, ensuring that HCP coverage is complete and reproducible.
The Simple Plex CHO HCP 3G-1 assay (SPCKB-OT-003714) and HEK 293 HCP 3G (SPCKB-OT-007066) on Ella are based on the same antibodies currently used in the Cygnus CHO HCP ELISA Kit, 3G (F550-1) and HEK 293 HCP ELISA kit, 3G Resupply 1 (F650S), respectively. These antibodies have been evaluated for reactivity to more than 1,000 individual HCPs present in CHO or HEK 293 strains by state-of-the-art Antibody Affinity Extraction™ and mass spectrometry methods.
