Why use multiplex ELISAs?
Compare Multiplex ELISA technologies.
Traditional vs. Q-Plex Multiplex ELISA
When comparing the difference between traditional ELISAS and Multiplex ELISAs, there are several criteria to evaluate such as time, sample, costs, learning curve and market availability. The following table shows the differences between the two technologies and the value given by adopting multiplex technologies.
| Traditional ELISA | Q-Plex™ multiplex ELISA | |
| Sample Size | 50-100 µl / well | 15-30 µl / well |
| Cost Per Data Point | High Cost- $5 / Data point | Lower Cost- $1.00 / data point |
| Speed- Data Point per Test | 96 data points / test | 1536 data points / test |
| Sensitivity | Lower Sensitivity | Higher Sensitivity |
| Product Availability | Wide Range of Products | Increasing Product Offerings |
| Protocol | Standardized | Modified ELISA |
| Time | 48 hours for 1536 data points | 3 hours for 1536 data points |
A study was conducted comparing a traditional ELISA with a Q-Plex custom array. The findings were published in February 2007 BioTechiques.
