MultiScreen_HTS Filter Plates for Elispot

Optimized filter plates measure immune response on a single cell level

Improved Spot Recovery and Spot Definition

Elispot assays are used for a range of applications to monitor immune responses and immunological response patterns, and can also be used to identify antigenic peptides and create vaccination strategies. Validated Elispot assays are highly reliable, reproducible and predictive. They can successfully identify antigenspecific T or B cells on a single cell level with results that closely mirror in vivo conditions and eliminate the need for long-term in vitro cell cultures or the addition of exogenous cytokines.

New: 8-Well Strips now available for processing less than 96 samples at one time.

MultiScreen_HTS filter plates are available with validated Immobilon®-P (PVDF) for superior results. Plates with HA (mixed cellulose esters) are also available. Both provide membranes with dense uniform pore structure to promote antibody binding and increase sensitivity for better, sharper spot definition.

• Validated membranes
  
• Uniform spot morphology
  
• Easy membrane access
  
• Compatible with automation

Uniform and Reproducible Results

Optimized Membrane Gives Consistent Results Even in Corner and Edge Wells

These images represent the number of cells secreting IFN-Ɣ in response to PHA-L stimulation of Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (HPBMC). The wells were seeded with 50,000 cells and developed using AEC substrate. The wells were imaged with a CTL Series 5 Analyzer. Typical MultiScreen_HTS-IP filter plate variability expressed by %CV* is less than 10%.
