Truly hands-off ELISA automation

Our fully automated ELISA platform frees your scientists from tending to lab equipment

Our approach to lab automation is different. Open, integrated automation works by connecting benchtop instruments with robotics, enabled by the Automata LINQ bench and integrating them together with Automata LINQ software to create a new approach to ELISA automation.

Thinking about scale? Go beyond ‘out of the box’ solutions for ELISA automation

Currently, performing ELISA requires many manual steps. Even when automation is used, it tends to be limited to isolated benchtop automation, such as liquid handlers. This means time-poor, highly-trained technicians and scientists are spending hours moving samples between lab equipment, performing manual steps that can lead to human error and compromised data integrity with other benchtop machines when running at scale.

Out of the box solutions that combine multiple steps can help address some of these issues, however they are restricted in their ability to scale due to limited on-deck space, space within a lab, and inflexibility when a lab’s needs change.

What is automated ELISA?

Automated ELISA is simply executing some or all aspects of the assay using some kind of machine-based automation. This automation could be benchtop – for example having a robot pipetting rather than a human – or end-to-end, which would see digital and robotic connections used to conduct the majority of the design and implementation of the immunoassay workflow with minimal human intervention.

Scaling up with our automated ELISA solution

We worked with a virology contract research organisation (CRO) to design a fully automated ELISA system to maximise throughput, provide robust data management and significantly reduce manual interactions.

80 – 95.25% 

REDUCTION IN manual interactions

UP TO 530

MICROPLATES PER DAY THROUGHPUT

REDUCED RISK

OF MANUAL ERRORS

Built on the Automata LINQ robotic lab bench, this ELISA system has equipment operating concurrently, unlocking a lab’s maximum capacity. This can be expanded or adapted over time, with additional lab equipment or adding further LINQ modules.

The cloud-based Automata LINQ software seamlessly connects each activity in the ELISA workflow, providing full barcode scanning traceability for each sample, and adding test data to the lab’s LIMS system.

An example automated ELISA workflow set up on a LINQ bench, featuring multiple lab equipment including incubator, dispenser, reader, washers, liquid handlers, plate sealer, peeler and microplate hotel.
