What is Microfluidic Immunoassay?

Microfluidic immunoassay is an innovative technology in diagnostics that merges the traditional immunoassay with microfluidics. Microfluidics is the science and technology of systems that process and analyze microliter of liquid utilizing tiny channels, chambers, and structures. It involves several interdisciplinary fields of interest, including chemistry, fluid mechanics, microelectronics, new materials, biology, and biomedical engineering. 

Immunoassay is a detection technology that uses antigens and antibodies interactions. It sees a wide range of applications in clinical diagnostics to measure the presence or concentration of an analyte in biological sample. The microfluidic immunoassay takes advantage of the characteristics of miniaturization and integration, which can achieve “Sample in, Results out”feature, making it particularly suitable for point-of-care testing (POCT). On the other hand, microfluidic immunoassay does not only have improved performances compared with traditional immunoassay but also offer more convenient and precise solutions for the healthcare sector.

Core Advantages of JIEZLAB’s Microfluidic Immunoassay Analyzer

Micro Sample Volume: 50 µL.  

TAT: 12 minutes.  

Reliable Results: It utilizes active centrifugal microfluidics combined with time-resolved fluorescence technology. The whole blood can be used directly because of plasma quantitation, which eliminate the bias introduced by different HCT. Unique mixing and washing processes introduced by microfluidic design ensure high sensitivity and specificity. The performance of microfluidic immunoassay rivals that of Chemiluminescence.  

Multi-channel Capability: The device supports up to 6 samples per run. It also allows flexible test combinations. 

Portability: Compact size and lightweight (3.2 kg), making it easy to carry to the site and space-efficient. 

User-friendly Operation: No specialized personnel are required; the device has no liquid pathways, ensuring easy maintenance.  

Temperature Stability for Transport and Storage: 2-25°C.

Application Scenarios for Microfluidic Immunoassay Analyzer  

Our microfluidic immunoassay products feature compact portability, straightforward operation, reliable results, and stable ambient transport and storage conditions, making them ideal for international medical settings. Primary application scenarios include small clinics, emergency, and clinical departments. Our test kits are as follows:

Acute Myocardial Infarction Biomarkers: such as Troponin T, hs-cTnT, CK-MB, MYO, and D-Dimer, assisting healthcare professionals in swiftly diagnosing acute myocardial infarction.  

Cardiac Function Assessment: Evaluation of patient cardiac function and fluid excess through BNP or NT-proBNP detection. 

Inflammatory biomarkers: PCT test and IL-6 test to help assess the degree of inflammation and disease progression.

Distinct Product Characteristics of Microfluidic Immunoassay Analyzer  

The analyzer offers portability, ease of use, rapid results in 12 minutes, and reliable results. After sample collection, two droplets of whole blood are added into a microfluidic chip pre-filled with reagents, then the device automatically completes subsequent processes including but not limited to separation, reaction, washing, and detection. The microfluidic chip ensures high sensitivity and specificity by precisely controlling microliter liquid flow, providing quick and accurate clinical decision support for emergency and clinical settings.
