The semiautomated Evidence Investigator has been applied to the simultaneous specific measurement of soluble adhesion molecules: L-, P-, E- selectins, VCAM-1, ICAM-1 using a reduced volume of sample. The biochip is the solid support and vessel where the sandwich immunoassay takes place. Signal detection, imaging, data processing, and storage are fully automated. Calibration curves are generated simultaneously for each analyte, with automatic validation against supplied calibration data. These curves are used for the calculation of the concentrations in multi-analyte controls and human serum samples. Data from the evaluation parameters assessed indicate suitability of the Evidence Investigator system for the application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
